Présentation de l'éditeur
These poems have been written in the idle moments of a very busy period, caught, as it were, from the spirit of inspiration which would come unheralded, amid the almost incessant cares of a business career a career which has left scant opportunity for dreaming. But the world is so full of beautiful things and life itself is such a wonderful revelation of interest and beauty that these thoughts of the ideal could not be surpressed. A nd, lacking in thought and artistic finish, as these lines are, they, nevertheless, echo the cry of a soul in full accord and in love with God smarvelous plan of light and shade, sound and silence, grief and joy and the pictured glory of Nature sworld, and the finer chords of feeling and sympathy which beat in every human heart. All Nature is one great poem; the changing season, the death of flowers and their resurrection, the gift of the ripened fields of wheat and com, the bird life in wood and meadow, their nesting and domestic activities, the varied color of blossoms, the stem silence of great forests, the glory of a cloudless summer day, the wonder of storms, rain, snow, frost and wind, the surly restlessness of the sea, the oppressive mystery of night and the matchless strength which comes with each fresh dawn. But a greater poem than all these is the human soul that unclassified part of our nature whose longings go out from the lowest depths of life to the highest part of the unseen hereafter.
