Most of the pieces in this book have not been published; those which have been will doubtless be readily recognized by most readers. My aim in bringing these together has been to present a representative collee tion of my later verse. The fact that the collection contains some pieces of very little consequence should be considered in the light of this re?ection. I thank all who have aided me in bringing out the volume, including the J. B. Lippincott Company, who kindly granted the use of A Lover's Mood, on which they own the copyright.
