Excerpt from Rural Tales: Ballads, and Songs The Poems here offered to the public were chiefly written during the interval between the concluding and the publishing of 'The Farmer's Boy, ' an interval of nearly two years. The pieces of a later date are, 'The Widow to her Hour-Glass, ' 'The Fakenham Ghost, ' 'Walter and Jane, ' &c. At the time of publishing the Farmer's Boy, circumstances occurred which rendered it necessary to submit these poems to the perusal of my friends; under whose approbation I now give them, with some confidence as to their moral merit, to the judgment of the public.
