'Last lines' by George Thomas

Manuscript, [?1859], of the poem 'Last lines' by George Thomas (1786-1859) of Llandyssil, Montgomeryshire, probably in the hand of his son John Thomas of Bank, Llandyssil (f. 20 recto-verso), together with a printed copy of the poem, [?1859] (f. 21).
The manuscript contains two minor emendations in a different hand, possibly that of George Thomas himself (f. 20 verso). The poem is printed in full in Frazer Thomas, 'George Thomas of Llandyssil, 1786-1859', in Montgomeryshire Collections, 97 (2009), 101-121 (pp. 120-121).

Thomas, George, approximately 1791-1859

Felicia Hemans' 'Song to the Swiss in a foreign land'

Autograph manuscript draft, [?1823], of a poem entitled 'Song to the Swiss in a foreign land, from the German of Tieck' by F[elicia] H[emans].
A revised version of the poem, with the title 'Alpine Song', was published in The Edinburgh Annual Register for 1819 (Edinburgh, 1823), p. 368; it was collected, as 'Alp-horn Song', in The Works of Mrs. Hemans: With a Memoir of Her Life, 7 vols (Edinburgh, 1839), III, 109. The poem is a translation of Ludwig Tieck's 'Alphornlied' which appeared in the first version of his novel Franz Sternholds Wanderungen (1798), p. 233 (see Angela Esterhammer, 'Legendary Late-Romantic Switzerlands: Baillie, Polidori, Hemans, and Scott', in Romanticism, Rousseau, Switzerland: New Prospects, ed. by Angela Esterhammer, Diane Piccitto and Patrick Vincent (Basingstoke, 2015)).
