Excerpt from The Poems of Henry Abbey All the poems of mine that I care to retain are collected in this fourth edition, and are now reproduced as I wish them to stand. Some of them should not be here, per haps; but they have been copied and recited often and are beyond recall. In the third edition (1895) thirteen poems, beginning with the verses Delay, were added to what comprised the first and second editions In the present vol ume, the nine titles following The Long Regret are appended to the contents of the edition of 1895. Lest the dominant meter might become monotonous, it was varied in parts of Karagwe, of The City of De cay, and in a few other instances.
