ILLUSTRATIONS

This hearth was built for thy delight Frontispiece
And by a friend's bright gift of wine,
I dedicate this house of mine
23
And of all man's felicities 33
A little world he feels and sees:
His mother's arms, his mother's knees
39
The 5:42 47
And Daddy once said he would like to be me
Having cocoa and animals once more for tea!
53
But heavy feeding complicates
The task by soiling many plates
59
How ill avail, on such a frosty night 65
The old swimmer 69
But Katie, the cook, is more splendid than all 73
Perhaps it's a ragged child crying 79
The Balloon Peddler 85
If you appreciate it more
Than I—why don't return it!
87
And then one night 93
The human cadence and the subtle chime
Of little laughters
95
What years of youthful ills and pangs and bumps 103
A Birthday 109
You must be rigid servant of your art! 123
You came, and impudent and deuce-may-care
Danced where the gutter flamed with footlight fire
127
Hostages 135
My eyes still pine for the comely line
Of an outbound vessel's hull
155
A man ain't so secretive, never cares
What kind of private papers he leaves lay
165
Mounted Police 177
Courtesy 183
The Plumpuppets 189
... It's hard to have to tell
How unresponsive I have found her
195
... When you see, this Great First Time,
Lit candles on a Christmas Tree!
201
The music box 207
Solugubrious 217
In the midnight, like yourself,
I explore the pantry shelf!
221
The Twins 227
O praise me not the country 233
The wail of sickly children 239
Ah, does the butcher—heartless clown—
Beget that shadow on her brow?
245
