Adelaide Anne Procter - Legends & Lyrics: First Series: 'Joy is Like Restless Day; But Peace Divine Like Quiet Night''

By: Adelaide Anne Procter

Adelaide Anne Procter was born at 25 Bedford Square in Bloomsbury, on October 30th, 1825. An early voracious reader she began her literary career as a teenager; her poems were primarily published in Charles Dickens's periodicals Household Words and All the Year Round and later published in book form. Her charity work and her conversion to Roman Catholicism in 1851 seems to have been a strong influence on her poetry and her desire to help the homeless and unemployed women as well as work with feminist groups and various journals. Adelaide was a favourite poet of Queen Victoria and fellow poet Coventry Patmore called her "the most popular poet of the day after Alfred Lord Tennyson". Many of her poems were set to music and published in England, Germany and the United States. Adelaide never married and this has given rise to questions about her sexuality. Her poems do reveal how Victorian women expressed repressed feelings but for many years now her work has to been given the attention it really deserves. Here we publish volume 2 of her poems so her work can now be seen for the great talent that she is. Adelaide Anne Proctor died on February 2nd 1864, from tuberculosis, at the age of only 38.

Legends and Lyrics

By: Adelaide Anne Procter

Adelaide Anne Procter (1825-1864) was an English poet. She was the eldest daughter of the poet Bryan Procter. She took much interest in social questions affecting women. She wrote the well-known songs Cleansing Fires and The Lost Chord, and among her many hymns are I do not ask, O Lord, that Life may be, and My God, I thank Thee who hast made. She began to contribute to Household Words in 1853 and adopted the name of "Mary Berwick, " so that the editor, Charles Dickens, should not be prejudiced by his friendship for the Procters. Many of her poems were first published in Household Words and All the Year Round and afterwards collected under the title of Legends and Lyrics (1858-1861), which was considered as her principal work. Her unambitious verses dealing with simple emotional themes in a simple manner have a charm which is scarcely explicable on the ground of high literary merit, but which is due rather to the fact that they are the cultured expression of an earnest and beneficent life.
