'The Coast of Bohemia' is a collection of poems written by Thomas Nelson Page. Around two dozen poems are featured inside, including 'The Old Lion', 'The Dragon of the Seas', 'The Bent Monk', 'The Message', 'The Needle's Eye', and 'The Closed Door'. Here's an excerpt from 'The Old Lion': «The Old Lion stood in his lonely lair / The sound of the hunting had broken his rest / He scowled to the Eastward: Tiger and Bear.»
