buttercups and clover

Book cover
THE PREFACE. little ballads contained in this volume are nothing more than their name declares, com monplace blossoms that will by no means compare favorably with loftier flowers of brighter hue. Some of them have previously appeared in print, and others are given to the public for the first time. Some are written with special reference to the authors little friends. They are the spontaneous outburst of a heart that longed to sing, but whose earliest warblings, because of great physical prostration and its conse quent privations ere the threshold of the twelfth birthday had been reached, were attuned to a minor key. If towards the close of this little volume the reader is able to detect the more exultant notes of 759410 iv joy and gladness PREFACE. which thrilled the heart as the lines were written, to Him who so wondrously lib erates and restores, she would ascribe all the praise.
