REALMS OF UNKNOWN KINGS.
The Athenæum.—'In this volume the critic recognises with sudden joy the work of a true poet.'
The Saturday Review.—'It is a book in which deep feeling speaks ... and it has something of that essentially poetical thought, the thought that sees, which lies deeper than feeling.'

Songs of Womanhood
BY
LAURENCE ALMA TADEMA
GRANT RICHARDS 48 LEICESTER SQUARE LONDON 1903
Edinburgh: Printed by T. and A. Constable
A great number of the following verses are already known to readers of The Herb o' Grace, and of the little reprint, Songs of Childhood. As these pamphlets, however, did not reach the public, it has been thought advisable to re-issue the verses in book-form, together with three or four more collected from various reviews, and a number that are here printed for the first time.
