The Melody of Earth / An Anthology of Garden and Nature Poems From Present-Day Poets

by Unknown

To Mr. Clement Wood for "Rose-Geranium" from Glad of Earth.

To Mr. Henry A. Wise Wood for "The Joy of a Summer Day."

NOTE

With very few exceptions only the poets who are writing to-day, or who have written within a period of ten years, are represented in this collection; and certain favorite poems peculiarly suited to the spirit of this book which chanced to be included in High Tide may be missed here. G. M. R.
