Love's Old Sweet Song

Love's Old Sweet Song - A sheaf of latter-day love-poems gathered from many sources

IN this Anthology is included in more convenient form the greater portion of the poems contained in the two volumes entitled Loves Demesne, now out of print. The present collection has been carefully revised by the Compiler, and like its predecessor occupies an entirely distinct field, most of the selections being otherwise only accessible in the volumes where they originally appeared, and the major part being by living lyrists. THE sincere thanks of the Editor are due, not only to those American authors who have graciously allowed the reproduction of their poems, but equally to the numerous British living poets whose graceful verses appear in the following pages. In but one instance on the part of a native author, and in but one instance on the part of a publisher, was permission to include poems refused. With these exceptions the Compiler has received the most cordial assistance from holders of copyrights. It becomes a personal pleasure, therefore, to thank the following in particular for their uniform courtesy, without which many a flowing measure contained in Loves Old Sweet Song must necessarily have been omitted: Messrs. Houghton, Mifflin & Co., Roberts Bros., Charles Scribners Sons, Macmillan & Co., G. P. Putnams Sons, Stone & Kimball, J. G. Cupples, Belford, Clarke & Co., D. Lothrop & Co., Copeland & Day, Henry Holt & Co., R. Worthington & Co., Way & Williams, Longmans, Green & Co. To these and other publishers, to the sonorous choir of the poets quoted from, and, finally, to Mr. Gleeson White and Mr. Edmund Clarence Stedman, the Compiler tenders his most grateful acknowledgments. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
