Evangeline / Poems by Oliver Wendell Holmes

This historic narrative poem, full of love and hope, was written after early Acadians were purged from their homes, and sent to the American colonies. Evangeline searches for Gabriel, her betrothed, throughout the colonies, clinging to the slight chance that she might find him. In the Holmes collection there is sentimentality, but it is often offset with a touch of humor. AVAILABLE ON CASSETTE ONLY.
