Underneath the Bough

Excerpt from Underneath the Bough: A Book of Verses For some year my work has been done for "the younger generation" - not yet knocking at the door, but awaited with welcome. Meanwhile, readers from further England - if they will pardon my so classing them - have given me that joy of listening denied to me in my own island; and to them I offer this hook of lyrics, adding such new songs as I count my sweetest to those of "The Old World Series," some of which, I have reason to hope, have won place in their hearts.
