""Wild Flowers of Youth: Gathered Into a Bouquet in Old Age"" is a book written by George Downer in 1871. The book is a collection of poems that reflect on the fleeting nature of youth and the beauty that can be found in it. The poems are written in a lyrical and contemplative style, and are meant to evoke a sense of nostalgia and reflection in the reader. The title of the book is a metaphor for the idea that the experiences and memories of youth are like wild flowers that can be gathered and preserved into a beautiful bouquet in old age. The book is a poignant and moving tribute to the joys and sorrows of youth, and a reminder to cherish the moments that make life worth living.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
