Sinopsis

Excerpt from Shifting Scenes: Poems

Four years ago, I came to the Golden State, seeking the benefits of its glorious climate. During a period of enforced leisure, I employed part of my time in writing verses for different papers in this State and elsewhere.

Collecting those and others I had written before, I made arrange ments with A. L. Bancroft Co. To publish them in one volume.

But with the loss of their house bv fire mv work was consumed just on the eve of completion; and mv first votary gift on the Altar of the Muses was a burnt offering. I now present a number of my poems in this little book, hoping they may receive whatever degree of attention and patronage their merits may demand.
