Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Autumn Leaves: Some Verses The verses in this book were, with few exceptions, written after the author´s sixtieth year - this suggested the title. They were prepared for special occasions, or where something original was called for. There was no thought of, or attempt at, permanency, and some so written have been lost, because of failure to preserve copies. Some kind friends expressed the desire to have these verses in book form, and, an unexpected opportunity arising going far toward financing the project, this is the result. If the reader gets but a fraction of the satisfaction in reading this book that the author experienced in its production, these efforts have not been in vain. It is almost inevitable, considering the period during which these verses were written, that patriotism and religion should play a large part in their construction; the quips and jokes at the "Dinners" were a natural part of the author´s efforts to entertain, and were taken in a proper spirit; the tributes are weak attempts at expressions of esteem. With the hope of providing a modicum of cheer, stimulus and comfort to the reader, this booklet is offered to all who will pay the price. To those whose pre-publication support made this work possible, are herewith extended the author´s sincere thanks; if any reader is pleased, his gratitude is due to these subscribers.
