Summary "Verses and Rhymes By the Way" by Nora Pembroke is a collection of poems likely written in the late 19th century. The work showcases a variety of themes, including love, loss, nature, and reflections on life, particularly focusing on the experiences and emotions of individuals in the Canadian landscape intertwined with references to Irish heritage. The opening portion introduces a narrative poem titled "A Story of Plantagenet," where the scene is set in the Village of St Joseph near Ottawa. The poem captures the beauty of the Canadian wilderness while introducing Marie, a young girl described as strikingly beautiful and emblematic of the region's spirit. As she navigates life in her idyllic surroundings, we encounter themes of love and longing, particularly with the introduction of her suitor, Napoleon Rajotte. The narrative unfolds to convey the poignant feelings associated with separation, the passage of time, and the anticipated return of loved ones, marking a deep emotional resonance as it reflects on the intersection of personal and natural worlds.
