Excerpt from Songs, Poems and ProseWe want some humbler poet, Whose songs gushed from his heart As showers from the clouds of summer, Or tears from the eyelids 'start.' If, happily, the following songs and poems may be considered as applicable to the above description, and by their influence they soothe the restless spirit, and bring peace unto the tired and careworn mind, then shall I indeed feel well content.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
