520			_a"Lays of Ancient Virginia, and Other Poems" by James Avis Bartley is a collection of poems written in the mid-19th century. The poems reflect the sentiments and themes associated with Virginia's history, nature, love, and loss, featuring a blend of emotional depth and local color. The opening section introduces a range of poetic voices and imagery, culminating in narratives that evoke historical figures and events, notably capturing the spirit of Virginia's past. The beginning of the collection presents a preface where the author expresses his hope that readers will experience joy in reading his poems, just as he found joy in writing them. It includes a poetic exploration of the legendary Pocahontas and her love for Captain John Smith, set against the lush backdrop of Virginia's wilderness. The verses weave together reflections on love, sacrifice, and the passage of time as they recount the tale of Pocahontas’s bravery and devotion. This opening offers an enchanting glimpse into Bartley’s poetic style, characterized by rich imagery and emotional resonance, setting the tone for the themes explored throughout the collection.
