Description: In the author's own words, taken from the Introduction:This little volume of verse, published at the solicitation of several friends, is a collection of a few poems written during the past five years. The earliest of these poems were written during my thirteenth year, and the latest of the set--the three at the front of the book--were finished after I became eighteen. I have arranged the different poems in inverse order to that in which they were written, and I therefore wish to make an apology for those near the back. They were wwritten in my very extreme youth, some of them when I was as young as thirteen. Although these earliest verses have been somewhat revised, I trust that the critical reader will attribute a legitimate number of the faults that he finds to this cause. Ogden, Utah May 1914
