Excerpt from Pipe Dreams

(f or any lack of literary exactitude, for limping rhythm and faulty metre, the writer of these verses begs indul gence. They were for the most part born of the mood of a moment, in the inky atmosphere of a press-room, and set to paper between whiles of assignments. If they touch, however gently, the vibrant chord of memory, if they bring a smile to weary lips, if they draw one lonely soul for a brief half-hour nearer to its fellows, their purpose will have been accomplished. Since most of the poems now gathered here together have in past years taken their message (if indeed they bear one) to lonely mining camps and smoky foc's'les and farm firesides 0' winter evenings, the writer has not deemed it wise to polish them, - indeed, he has not had the heart to. With all their imperfections - which are many, - with their excellences, alas! Too few, he sets them forth again on a fresh voyage, hoping they may reach some friendly haven.
