As I Walked Out One Evening

As I Walked Out One Evening by W. H. Auden contains the songs, ballads, lullabies, limericks, and other light verse by the formal master of twentieth-century English poetry.

A collection of W.H. Auden's light verse, assembled by his literary executor.This highly enjoyable anthology has been chosen by Edward Mendelson, whose knowledge of Auden's writings is unrivalled. As he says in his introduction, these 'lighter verses' (some of them previously unpublished) share the intelligence, energy, skill, humour and wisdom that find their fullest expression in Auden's major poems.
