Excerpt from On Viol and Flute: Selected Poems The following pieces are chiefly taken from two collections originally published in London. On Viol and Flute, in 1873, and New Poems, in 1879. A few of the others have appeared since the latter date in the "Cornhill Magazine" and in the "Century." The selection has been very kindly made for me by two literary friends in England, who will not permit me to thank them publicly by name, but to whom I am none the less grateful for taking out of my hands a task which I felt particularly ill-fitted to perform.
