Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The House Where I Was Born: And Other Poems A small volume of poems and sketches which I published some time ago was accorded a cordial welcome by my friends. The perhaps all too complimentary reception of that former work has prompted me to offer the present collection, in the fond hope that it may prove as acceptable to the reading public. In tendering this little booklet to possible readers I do not labor under the delusion that I am adding aught of abiding or material excellence or value to the literature of the present day. The world is full of books and few if any but are the work of far abler writers than I may aspire to be, but I hold it meet and deem it right, That I should test my powers to sing, To give my fancy rein in flight, E´en tho it speed on halting wing. What if my notes be harsh and rude, Lacking in strength and melody Intruding on your solitude A tiresome tuneless threnody. But who would bid the robin cease, Because he rivaled not the lark? Or tell the blue bird hold his peace ´Fore sweeter songs of wood or park? The mocking bird hath wonderous song, The linnet´s too is full of joy, The red bird´s note is loud and strong, Who would the humbler birds destroy?
