"Hymns, Songs, and Fables, for Young People" by Eliza Lee Cabot Follen is a charming collection of poetry and fables intended for children, written in the mid-19th century. This work is designed to both instruct and entertain young readers, employing a mix of joyous hymns, thoughtful songs, and moralistic fables. The overarching theme revolves around moral lessons, the beauty of nature, and the importance of faith and love, making it a delightful read for families and educators alike. At the start of this collection, the author expresses her desire to connect with children and families through poetry. The introductory prefaces reveal Follen's intent to provide children with pieces that resonate with their experiences while nurturing their character. The opening poems explore themes of innocence, joy, and the presence of a loving God in every aspect of life. Each piece serves to instill a sense of wonder and appreciation for both the natural world and divine love, setting the stage for the various hymns and fables that follow throughout the rest of the work.
