Dedication
TO
MY FARING-MATES
KATHARINE COMAN
AND
ANNIE BEECHER SCOVILLE
Daffodil and furze and wheat,
Shining paths for truant feet;
From that golden blossoming
Wilted sprays are all I bring.
You who know their fault the best,
To their fault be tenderest,
For a breath of fragrant days
Whispers you from wilted sprays.
