TO MY LITTLE FRIEND Henry Dinneen WITH MY LOVE AND BLESSING
NOTE
SOME of these verses have appeared in other places: one in St. Nicholas, one in Harper's Young People; and the Sunday School Times, the Youth's Companion, and the Independent have each published others. To this class belong, I think, all I reprint from my Poems and Lyrics. Most of the contents, however, is new.
