NESTLINGS
A COLLECTION OF POEMS
BY
ELLA FRASER WELLER
ILLUSTRATED BY
K. A. FRASER
FROM PICTURES OF CHILDREN IN THE AUTHOR'S
IMMEDIATE CIRCLE OF FRIENDS
SAN FRANCISCO
CALIFORNIAN PUBLISHING CO.
1892
Copyright, 1892, by Ella Fraser Weller
LOVINGLY DEDICATED
TO THE CHILDREN WHOSE FACES
ARE
PICTURED WITHIN
INTRODUCTORY
These selections have come of occasions. They were not meant for the public eye. The thought of a possible book had given them greater unity, and the vision of a possible critic had probably modified their form. The mother-love for children called for them and they came; there is a conspiracy of mother-loves and the fugitive poems became a book.
The accompanying illustrations are shadows of real faces and may be readily duplicated in any limited circle.
Nestlings
may serve as an album for some innocent faces, and perpetuate some possibly helpful sentiment.
S. H. WELLER
Los Angeles, California

Contents
"As I came o'er the distant hills
I heard a nestling sing:
'Oh, pleasant are the primrose buds
In the perfumed breath of spring!
And pleasant are the mossy banks
Beneath the birchen bowers—
But a home wherein no children play
Is a garden shorn of flowers.'"
My Baby's Feet
Within
