Excerpt from Folk Songs And as for those who, with pen or pencil, have helped to make my gift more charming, no thanks of yours or mine can half so well reward them as the sense of having joined to produce a thing of beauty and a joy forever, such as a writer in Blackwood hoped for, when, in an article on Picture-books, he wrote as follows.

Book Description
Excerpt from Songs of the Seasons: And Other Poems The present volume exhibits specimens of my moody but delight ful companion. She is ever to me a source of inefi'able pleasure. She is too independent to court the favors of the great, and shrinks from seeking the applause of the vulgar. Her joys are in the sanctuary of the domestic circle. My task is simply to give to the world the promptings of her inspiration. Should they be received with the smiles of favor, she may be encouraged to future exertion; but should the tribunal of the public, before which she is about to appear, doom her in justice to eternal oblivion, let her go unlamented. Whatever the decision may be, there is no danger of my pining away under a feeling of withering neglect. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Songs of the Lowly, and Other Poems The Lost Song. I Plucked a wild flower from the river's brim, And drank awhile its faint but fragrant breath. Then cast it forth upon the wave a-swim, And watched it, as I fancied, drift to death. "'Tis lost," I said; but far adown the tide A tempted maiden saw its dainty hue; She snatched it, kneeling at the water side. And vowed: "I will be pure, Sweet Flower, like you." And I, I never knew. I plucked a song from out my heart one day, And tossed it on the noisy stream of rhyme. Sadly I watched it slowly float away 'Mongst thistles, weeds and sprigs of fragrant thyme. "'Tis lost," I said, "'tis lost for evermore. Although within my heart of hearts it grew." And yet, far down beside the reedy shore It taught one soul its lesson sweet and true. And I, I never knew.

Excerpt from Songs of the Country The Martins of Pevensey. One drowsy day in the Autumn, Through shadow and pleasant heat, I came with quiet footstep Into Pevensey Street; Over me clouds were flying, The breeze was gently sighing, The winding stream replying A melody low and sweet. Purely the song of nature Fell on my eager ear, The happy hum of the noonday Flowing the heart to cheer: About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Songs of the West and Other Poems Here's a murmuring in the trees, And a sighing on the breeze; There's a calling from the robins on the hill; And it fills my heart with pain And a longing - that is vain To be up and out, a-wandering at my will. There are wildflowers everywhere Shedding fragrance on the air, The butterflies are hurrying to and fro; The squirrels and the bees Are as busy as you please. Out there among the hills where I would go. F or it's there that one can rest. Lying close to Nature's breast. And the breeze's lullaby is low and sweet, 50 I turn my longing eyes Where the stately mountains rise. And the wooded hills are nestling at their feet.

Book Description
Excerpt from Little-Folk Songs ET golden, dear ones, rises each fair head To manly stature in full height completed, Blue eyes glance bright 'neath brows where candor seated Holds fearless sway. With ever quickening tread, The incessant years my little babes have led Far from me, flinging Childhood's toys and flowers Away, while speeding with the absolute hours To lift life's iron gage. Hope strives with dread To see you stand forth men. Backward I turn Adown the path home - bound, content to find Your tiny foot-prints, tenderly to trace Remembrances, - haply o'er which to yearn In the still house, - wherewith these leaves are lined; Yours all the sweetness that may lend them grace.
