The Poetical Works of Oliver Wendell Holmes — Volume 04: Songs in Many Keys, published in the mid-19th century, is a collection of lyrical poems, ballads, and reflections. This volume explores themes of love, nature, the passage of time, and the human experience, beginning with a prologue that contemplates life's ephemeral nature.

“Olympia next, a creature half divine / Sprung from the blood of old Evander's line / Held her white arm that wore a twisted chain / Clasped with an opal-sherry cymophane.””
— Oliver Wendell Holmes
