  7. Our final poem: the heartbreaking "Song (The gloomy night is gathering fast)" (*Penny Magazine*, 8 Sept 1832). Farewell, my friends! Farewell, my foes! My peace with these, my love with those- The bursting tears my heart declare; Farewell, the bonny banks of Ayr.

  8. Our third poem: "O gin My Love were yon Red Rose," with music by W. Augustus Barratt (*Victorian Magazine* Nov 1892). Burns has become cherubic!

  9. : The start of W. Augustus Barratt's setting of Burns's "The Posie," illustrated (probably) by G. H. Edwards (*Victorian Magazine* Aug 1892). Robert Burns transformed into middle-class parlour music suitable for female magazine readers to play & sing.

  13. : a poetic homage by Helen K. Wilson, a Glasgow poet who lived in a very modest flat with her mother at 3 Elmbank St & was a prolific periodical poet. This poem describes the "thrill" of holding a scrap of paper with Burns's writing.

  15. : Florence Wilson's "Dreams" ( 1850 Keepsake). This achingly conventional poem in a luxurious annual is fascinating for the poet's life: governess in St. Petersburg, shipwreck survivor, Canadian emigrant, saloon owner.

  16. Today's is a Victorian magazine reader's lament about their rejected poetry that ends up celebrating (ahem) roaring poetic success. Delightful doggerel from the *Atalanta* Brown Owl column (Nov 1889) by the unknown poet "Busy-Body."

  17. Today's offers you terrible poetry with a knowing wink. How DO you rhyme "bicycle" when the "Two-Wheeled Steed" seemed so modern? This poem was published in *Chambers's Journal* on 4 June 1870 & it's one of the DVPP team favourites.

  19. Please enjoy today's : Thomas Powell's "All Things Perish Save Virtue" (Chambers's Edinburgh Journal 3 Dec 1842). Powell was a literary forger. His insistently moral poem quotes & heavily borrows from Herbert. What a final rhyme! Poetry

  20. A fabulous : Elizabeth Addey's unsigned "Long Ago" from Dickens's Household Words (20 Nov 1858). Oh, that amazing repetitiveness! O, the relentless rhyme! O, the Tennysonian open vowels! The wondrous poetessy posing gushiness!
