Wayside Thoughts And Miscellaneous Poems PDF Download

Excerpt from Wayside Flowers: Religious and Miscellaneous Poems Not like showy, rare exotics nurtured beneath the watchful eye and skillful hand of the florist, into a state of beautiful perfection; but like modest wayside flowers, of common form and hue, peeping, unobserved, from among the grasses along the rugged and winding pathway, are these simple, little poems. Not like the artistic bouquet of roses and camillias tastefully arranged by the exquisite hand of beauty; but like a bunch of wild flowers, a handful of cowslips and violets, culled in a country ramble, are these everyday thoughts and gleanings. Though they may soon fade from the minds of my readers, may they, at least, serve to brighten some heart or home, and leave there an abiding fragrance. At the suggestion of friends, "Has She Any Tin" has been added," which is the only selection from Cactus: or Thorns and Blossoms.
