Summary "Childhood's Happy Home, and Other Verses" by Lemuel Kayhart is a collection of poetry written in the early 20th century. This book predominantly focuses on themes of nostalgia, childhood memories, love, loss, and spiritual reflections. The verses convey a sense of warmth and longing for simpler times, especially childhood. The content of the book features a rich tapestry of poems that reminisce about the joys and innocence of childhood, depicted through the symbol of a happy home and natural landscapes. Kayhart expresses deep affection for family, particularly the mother figure, and explores the concept of home as a sanctuary of comfort and love. The collection also includes elegiac verses reflecting on loss, where the poet grieves for departed loved ones and contemplates the hope of reunion in the afterlife.
