A Book of Verse for Children By MIRIAM CLARK POTTER With Illustrations by Ruth Fuller Stevens Boston THE FOUR SEAS COMPANY Publishers Copyright, 1920, by THE FOUR SEAS COMPANY The Four Seas Press Boston, Mass., U. S. A.
TO MY MOTHER AND FATHER WHO ALWAYS HAD TIME TO WAIVE GROWN-UP MATTERS AND READ A SMALL RHYME:
WHOSE HEARTS EVER HELD THROUGH THE FLIGHT OF THE YEARS A SOFT UNDERSTANDING OF SMALL JOYS AND TEARS.
We wish to acknowledge with thanks the permission of “The Youth’s Companion,” “St. Nicholas,” “Little Folks,” and Congregational Publishing Society for such of these rhymes as have appeared in their publications.
