TO GRACE BARTLETT STRYKER
Words fail me when I strive to say What you’ve meant to me—for so long a day Hope—Inspiration—Sympathy. Steadfast and true, whate’er might be. O priv’lege rarest to the end As in the past, to call you—friend.
AUTHOR’S NOTE
The poems contained within the following pages are children of the brain which at intervals obtruded their company, and which, such as they are, at the solicitation of my friends, I have ventured to set down.
