PREFACE
Many of the selections of this little volume of child’s verse have appeared from time to time in The Youth’s Companion
, Ladies’ World
, Farm and Home
, Outlook
, Sunday School Times
, Forward
, and The Independent
; and if, in bringing them together, occasionally here and there verses a trifle beyond the barefoot time
have crept in, perhaps they were not unintentionally admitted for children of a larger growth
.

THE BAREFOOT TIME

While life was a fairy tale sung in rhyme,

(Only yesterday now it seems),
Statues of greatness, Jim and I,
