Charles Dickens was an English novelist who is best-remembered for books like Great Expectations and A Christmas Carol. His work is noted for its social commentary and willingness to explore the lives of the poor and working class.
‘The Ivy Green’ by Charles Dickens describes the resilient characteristics of green ivy and its ability to make a feast of what humans leaves behind.
Oh, a dainty plant is the Ivy green,
That creepeth o’er ruins old!
Of right choice food are his meals, I ween,
In his cell so lone and cold.
‘The Song of the Wreck’ by Charles Dickens describes the outcome of a shipwreck and the fate of an innocent child found amongst the survivors.
The wind blew high, the waters raved,
A ship drove on the land,
A hundred human creatures saved
Kneel’d down upon the sand.
