Sinopsis

Excerpt from Cut-Flowers: A Collection of Poems

A cup of flowers, cut from mossy banks and grassy borders, with their stems drawing life from affection's dew, is its own best apology, while the elaborately arranged bouquet provokes criticism and challenges comparison. The poems contained in this volume have nearly all appeared in the periodicals of the day. They were, when uttered, the expression of a harmonious and sympathetic nature, touched to the necessity of song by appeals to its sensibility from the Spirit of Beauty, the Spirit of Love, the Spirit of Humanity, and the Spirit of Christianity. The unambitious soul in which they had their birth has passed away the gentle hand that penned them lies folded with its fellow over a silent heart but the literary flowers thus planted by the wayside still smile and blossom, and a com bination of their fragrance in a chosen collection is deemed a fitting tribute to the memory of her who trained and nourished them, and an appropriate expression of the affection of the multitude of friends she left behind her.
