This book is dedicated to all kindred spirits who love the beautiful in Nature; and is especially inscribed to my loyal friends of the Pacific coast.

A Sheaf of Roses
he rose was born of lovers’ sighs, Of lovers’ tears and sobs, And deep within its glowing heart The heart of true love throbs; Each rose that blooms an emblem is Of love divine and true, And I have made a sheaf of them To send, with love, to you.
