Excerpt from A Handful of Flowers With Sprays of Evergreen These are waifs and strays gathered from the highways and byways of current publications where they have wandered from time to time and with always a compassionate consideration, and now with many misgivings do I send them forth again, but this time hand in hand to meet a larger world of strangers who are not always merciful critics. Some of these poems were written among the somber pines of Maine and along her sounding shores where the author was born and reared, and in the camps of the soldiers while serving as surgeon during the Spanish-American war, and also among the eternal hills and mountains of the far West. The writing of them has been a recreation of pleasure, when other affairs did not press, and the wish is great that a perusal of them may afford an hour's enjoyment to the reader. I ask for these wayfarers an indulgent sympathy of the public. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
