Preface
Autumn Leaves was in the hands of the Publisher (BruceBrough) at the time of the Great Fire of April, 1906, and not asingle page of the original manuscript was saved. I could only recall afew titles, and a line or two here and there, not knowing though wherethey belonged. I began to rewrite on the 12th of June, 1908, and on the12th of September, 1908, it was ready for publication. It has givenme new courage, and by searching, perhaps you may findone leaf among my Autumn Leaves that you will feel was paintedexpressly for you, and is worthy to be pressed upon the tablet of yourheart.

Dedication
TO MY MOTHER
Who ever watched with loving care
My childhood’s tender years.
She ever soothed my little woes,
And kissed away my tears.
She guided me o’er Life’s rough road,
And pointed out the snares,
And pitfalls that are e’er in life;
And all the many tares,
And brambles that beset Life’s paths,
And if I fell by way,
She helped me up with loving hands,
And tender words alway.
