"BLUETS AND BUTTERCUPS"
A Little Book of Verses by

We love the rose, and all the IA
vorite cultivated blossoms-yet the
modest little duets and buttercups,
and other wild flowers of the wood

thoughts expressed in rhythmical rime
and musical meter are the word-fow-

ment and recreation of our minds and
hearts, just as the color and fragrance
of the rose and other flowers were
given for the enjoyment of u phys

Real poets, like James Whitcomb
