One or two of the poems in the following collection were written as many as fifty years ago; others during the last few years, and most of these are recent. All of them have been revised. They record, then, many differing moods and aspects. I am glad to have this opportunity of thanking the Editors of the periodicals in which many of them have appeared.
The following change was made to the original text
of The Two Lamps (page 46):
With the lamp's alone → With the lamps alone
Other than deleting a single quotation mark and adding 2 missing ones, minor variations in spelling and punctuation have been preserved.
