In Dedication:

TO ALINE

A vagrant minstrel of the street,
No poet of the laurel crown,
I kneel, dear Princess, at your feet,
And lay my book of verses down.
See all the love that lingers there,
And so, for love’s sake, find it fair.

Certain of the poems in this volume are reprinted by kindpermission of the editors of the following magazines andnewspapers: The Call, Harpers’ Weekly, The Independent,Moods, The Pathfinder, the New York Sun and the SundayMagazine of the New York Times.

I am glad to acknowledge my debt of gratitude to mymother, Mrs. Kilburn-Kilmer, for her encouragement andassistance in making this book.

For sympathy and valuable advice, I am deeply obligedto many friends, particularly Mr. and Mrs. Henry MillsAlden and Mr. Robert Cortez Holliday.
