THE EDITORS APrEAL 70 THE POETS.
Good people all who poems make
That winters nigh let us remind you,
And when you call, for mercy's sake,
Be sure you shut the door behind you.
For soon across the dreary void
Will come the gusts of bleak December,
And editors can catch a cold
As quick as common folks, remember.
Heed the appeal and show what kind
OF disposition animates you,
Neglect it and, by goshl you'll find
The kind Of welcome that awaits you.
