Excerpt from Poems of American History The thread of narrative upon which the poems have been strung together has been made as slight as possible, just strong enough to carrv the reader understandingly from one poem to the next. The notes, too, have been limited to the explanation of such allusions as are not likely to be found in the ordinary works of reference, with here and there an account of the circumstances which caused the lines to be written, or an indication of source, where the source is unusual. Every available source has been drawn upon the works of all the better known and many of the minor American and English poets, anthologies, newspaper collections, magazines, collec tions of Americana and especially of broadsides in a word, American and English poetry generally.

Forgotten Books uses state-of-the-art technology to digitally reconstruct the work, preserving the original format whilst repairing imperfections present in the aged copy.

Excerpt from One Hundred Best American Poems This grouping of American poems had its rise in the welcome accorded to a little volume entitled "The Hundred Best English Poems," issued by the same publishers. To select one hundred examples from the best work by our American poets, excluding all living authors, and avoiding an undue proportion of pieces by the few acknowledged to be preeminent, has been a puzzling although a pleasant task. Of course, no two editors would select the same hundred pieces from the sixty-four poets here represented. Any one familiar with our poetical literature will miss here certain favorites, and perhaps would criticize some of the selections. This is inevitable. It is not always the most finished art which expresses feelings and "thoughts that shall live within the general mind."

Excerpt from The First American, and Other Poems Friend and brother Speak the words so low And whisper them in halls where he was dear. Passing in a grove where fragrant cheer Of owers manifold at twilight's glow Hushes the air with calm so sweet, so slow That softly we walk on nor dread the drear Beyond, so his life frees us from our fear And bids us onward till the light we know. Though Death's dark asterisk had marked his name, Life with the golden pen of deeds that are And skill immortal, underneath Death's frown Gilded that spot with such effulgent ame That now it gleams, a glory-giving star, And beckons on to service and renown.my lady OF all saints.
