Présentation de l'éditeur
Carmen, the song, Sylva, the forest wild, Forth comes the sylvan song, the woodlands child !A nd had I not been born neath forest trees, I never should have heard such songs as these. I learned them from the birds, that sang aloft; And from the greenwoods murmurs sweet and soft Up sprang with them the heart within my breast! Song and the forest lull my soul to rest. ARMEN SYLVAS volume of beautiful poetry, entitled My Best, begins with the above poem. It explains the poetic reasons for the choice of the name under which the royal writer conceals herself. The title, My Rest, has to do with her early surroundings, for it means Monrepos, the beautiful country seat of the Princess of Wied, which is situated on a slope of the Westerwald, and in which the royal lady spent her early years.
