Excerpt from Tween Clyde and Tweed

AT the request of many friends these verses venture upon the rugged path of publication.

To Colonel John Buchan, whose benediction has been pronounced upon them, I tender sincere thanks.

But it is to Mr. Galloway Kyle, Editor of The Poetry Review, a journal full of literary inspiration and poetic truth, whose name is redolent of a country side beloved of all, I am indebted most. It was Mr. Kyle's kindly sympathy that made publication possible.

There are scenes in this beautiful land that the leal Scot holds for ever dear. To each there is one glen only that is the fairest, and the Tweed herd believes the wild roses that bloom on his own hill side to be the sweetest of all. The pieces contained in this volume are, for the most part, of the Border land. And if the hills that guard the infant Tweed be lifted up above all others, lay the blame to love's devotion - for love is blind.

As a mother, greatly fearing, watches the outgoing into a strange, untried experience of a child held very dear, so too at this hour my heart bids fare well and Godspeed to these outpourings of my soul.
