| Summary |
"A Canadian Calendar: XII Lyrics" by Francis Sherman is a collection of lyrical poetry likely written in the early 20th century. This poetic work captures the essence of the Canadian landscape, accompanied by themes of nature, love, and reflection. It serves as a tribute to the changing seasons and the emotions they evoke, drawing upon the beauty and diversity of the Canadian environment. The collection consists of twelve distinct poems that celebrate various aspects of nature and the passage of time throughout the year. Each poem offers a vivid portrayal of the Canadian scenery, from the awakening of spring in "In the North" to the melancholic reflections on autumn in "To Autumn." Sherman employs rich imagery and emotional depth, exploring themes such as longing, companionship, and nostalgia. The interplay between human experiences and the natural world is prominent, creating a resonance that reflects the deep connection between identity and landscape. Overall, the work presents a poignant exploration of seasonal change and the persistent memory of love and loss anchored in the Canadian wilderness. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
