FOREWORD

In this book I have put not only poems that are loved, but some less known which seem to me lovable. My wish is to make it the foundation for an anthology wherein one need not read much to enjoy a little. I shall therefore welcome suggestions born of a sincere desire to assist in the upbuilding of a structure such as is justified by the rich material available.

LEIGH MITCHELL HODGES.

Overbrook, Pennsylvania

September 1906.
