Excerpt from Deutsche Gedichte for High Schools This little volume is intended for the use of the German classes in High Schools. Many books of the kind have been published, but I have always found the collections too large, and the volume consequently expensive. In preparing this book I have selected some of the poems which are memorized in the higher schools of Germany, and which are well known in every German home. These poems, of which a part should be committed to memory, I have arranged in the order in which they can be read and learned to the best advantage. This little volume I respectfully commit to the hands of the teachers of German throughout this country. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
