Excerpt from Just to Help: Some Poems for Every Day BY the exercise of strenuous self-denial, in the in terests of my readers rather than of my vanity, I have kept out of this volume all my more ambitious poems, and included here only those bits of verse that suit the title. These poems are just to help. There is not one of them but springs from life, and so there is hope that some of them will cheer the lives of others. That is my purpose, and that is ambition enough for any book. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
