PREFACE

Three years ago I published a volume called Poems: First Series, which contained a collection of what I had written between 1905 and March, 1918.

The present collection contains all that I have written since then. The Birds and nine shorter poems were published in a small booklet in 1919; The Moon was separately published in 1920; but the majority of the poems here printed appear in book form for the first time, and twelve have never previously been published.
