A Legend of Old Persia and Other Poems

A Legend of Old Persia and Other Poems is a collection of classic Alfred Lord Tennyson poems that includes poetic nuggets like the following:

In the flowery land of Persia
Long ago, as poets tell,
Where three rivers met together
Did a happy people dwell.
Never did these happy people
Suffer sickness, plague, or dearth,
Living in a golden climate
In the fairest place on earth.
