Extremely scarce and out-of-print SIGNED FIRST EDITION! "The little lad of pre-school years could recite table and evening prayers and nursery rhymes in German and English, mainly because they were in poetic form. So started a lifelong appreciation of verse. This little book brings some of this appreciation to its more satisfying ambition. The writing of poetry follows much reading and singing and study. Retirement presented the opportunity to gather and arrange. One poem comes from high school days and others from an intervening period of fifty years............" -------- from the Preface.
