The Barefoot Time

Adelbert Farrington Caldwell

Boston: Richard G. Badger The Gorham Press 1903

Copyright 1903 by Adelbert F. Caldwell All Rights Reserved

Printed at The Gorham Press Boston

To My Mother Whose sharing my pleasures then, makes cherished the memories of childhood now.

PREFACE

Many of the selections of this little volume of child’s verse have appeared from time to time in “The Youth’s Companion”, “Ladies’ World”, “Farm and Home”, “Outlook”, “Sunday School Times”, “Forward”, and “The Independent”; and if, in bringing them together, occasionally here and there verses a trifle beyond “the barefoot time” have crept in, perhaps they were not unintentionally admitted for “children of a larger growth”.
