A Little Book of Family Verse (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Excerpt from A Little Book of Family Verse

O Brighthurst! guardian of our early ways!
Under whose fostering care these verses grew,
Receive this nosegay, gathered 'neath thy blue,
Bright with thy dewdrops, shining with thy rays.
Read here the story of forgotten days,
In love retold that maketh all things new.
Grudge not old jests the laughter once they drew.
Hear yet again with tears grief's sadder lays.
Thine are the gifts I bring. Thy children rare
Have sown the seed from which these songs have come,
Upon the soil thy mistress did prepare,
Rich with the fertile moisture of a home.
Sun from thy skies has wooed them to the air,
To claim at last thy welcome, Brighthurst dear.
