520 _a"Heart of New England by Abbie Farwell Brown" is a collection of lyric and narrative poetry written in the early 20th century. The book dwells on New England’s landscape and legacy, the Pilgrim and colonial past, homely gardens and family memory, folklore and ghostly legend, and a rising strain of civic and wartime patriotism. Its likely topic is the spirit of New England—its nature, history, and ideals—cast as a living inheritance for modern America. The collection moves from salt-tinged coastal love songs and Pilgrim recollections to Hampton legends of pirates and haunted houses; from intimate scenes of grandmothers’ gardens, walls, paths, and birds to meditations on books, city smoke, and conscience. Nature pieces—pines, frost, tanager, mushrooms—mix with whimsical fairy lore, while character sketches and playful verses sit beside elegies and tributes. A central wartime suite turns resolute and compassionate, honoring sailors, soldiers, nurses, and the home front, and weighing “peace with a sword.” The book culminates in a dramatic ode to the Pilgrims that stages voyage, struggle, and achievement through choruses and psalm-like voices, binding local memory to a national calling of liberty, unity, and praise.
