Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from In the Sweetness of Childhood The compiler of this book has aimed to include the best available poems on the theme of childhood. She has purposely omitted, however, a few of the most hackneyed selections in order to make room for others which seem to her quite as meritorious, though not so widely known. The result of her labours must be left to the reader. Critics may easily discover sins of commis sion and of omission, but if lovers of children find half the pleasure in perusing these verses that the editor had in gathering them, she will be more than satisfied. Thanks are due to all who contributed by suggestions and encouragement toward the book's preparation, and especially to the publishers who have generously con sented to the use of copyrighted poems. The selections by Longfellow, Stedman, Phoebe Cary, Celia Thaxter, and Mrs. Margaret E. Sangster are included by arrange ment with, and by special permission of, Houghton, Mit fiin and Company, publishers of the works of Longfellow, Mr. Stedman, Miss Thaxter, Mrs. Sangster, and the Cary sisters.
