HAPPY ENDING

| Rower maul'd in the Sea, ah, Rower Limp as Grasses behind the Mower. Pity'd most that thy Woes deny thee Sight of the Spirit Steersman by thee! Tho' more near than a hinted Haven Lie the Port that is coral-paven, All is well: the Unseen Befriending Makes of either the Happy Ending. |

PREFACE
This volume has been garnered from the author's earlierbooks. Two poems have been chosen from "The White Sail" (1887);nine Oxford Sonnets from a privately printed booklet (1895), sinceadded to, and much altered; and many lyrics, under a revised form,from "A Roadside Harp" (1893), and "The Martyrs' Idyl" (1899), plussome twenty newer titles transferred, with grateful acknowledgments,from McClure's Magazine, The Atlantic, Harper's, Scribner's,and The Century. The principle of exclusion goes far enough tocover all poems in narrative form, or of any appreciable length, ortranslated; also, any which seemed out of keeping with the characterof the present collection. Such as that is, it comprises the lessfaulty half of all the author's published verse.
