Excerpt from New Poems for Children Poetry is the natural language of the powers soon est developed. Feeling and Fancy are the goddesses that preside in the realm of childhood. Children obey their united voice, and yield themselves willingly to their smiling reign, when stern and dignified Reason frightens them with her deep, dismal shadows of the hidden and unrevealed, the fine-spun philosophy of research and toil. They will grasp the pretty gem of truth that poetry presents, and entwine around it the tendrils of sweet thoughts and pure aspirations. That poetry is a delightful source of amusement and instruo tion to children and youth, cannot be successfully controverted.
