A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This little Conservatory of Song contains few of the brilliant flowers of poetry found in larger collections, but rather a few fragrant bnt neglected roses, gathered by the wayside of life by one whose soul is easily kindled at the Muses flame, and who appreciates that Full many a gem of purest ray serene The dark, unfathomed caves of ocean bear ;F ull many a flower is born to blush unseen, And waste its sweetness on the desert air. To these is added a second part, containing a few National A irs, Battle Echoes, and Heroic Verses, suggested by the Compiler sson, eleven years old, who has a great fondness for such pieces, knows most of them by heart, speaks them well, and thinks them peculiarly suited to be declaimed by boys in school. As this is published as a Christmas book, and is intended to be sold chiefly for Christmas presents, the Compiler thought it eminently proper to open it with the beautiful ode to Bethlehem, by Bishop Brooks, and to close it with Lincoln s Gettysburg speech, the Apostles Creed, and the solemn A men. Carping critics may say that the Creed and Lincoln sspeech have no place in a book of poems, but, in the Compiler sopinion, they are as poetical as Solomon s Song or Paradise Lost, and as interesting as the wanderings of Moses and his Tribes or the explorations of i Eneus. Thou must be true thyself, If thou the truth would st teach; Thy soul must overflow If thou anothers soul would st reach ;I tneeds the overflowing heart To give the lips full speech.
