THIS BOOK IS RESPECTFULLY INSCRIBED
Journeys are memoried in light or shade;
This one in sunlight, when, by chance,
Strangers to most, all ages and all whims,
We for a fortnight sojourned far from home;
A memory, where the heart and eye
Replete, lie still and dream again.
God gave the view—a human heart the feast.
