Excerpt from PoemsBesides this we shall have to content ourselves and readers with stating that Mr. Tucker was the author of much humorous newspaper verse, and some of a personal character, all of high order, which could not be included, though a number of the latter sort of poems have been printed as seemed to be required by the memorial nature of the book. His lighter verses reveal a side of his kindly, sincere nature not always found in his maturer and more sober lyrics. Hopefulness and joy in life were essential features of his every-day philosophy.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
