It was at an early hour of the morning when the author was rambling through an open forest, where the oak locked arms with the beech, and the chestnut consorted with the maple.

I do not know, nor do I care, When it was, or how, or where I gained the heart of fairy-land: All I know and all I care - As celestial memory Of a rosy revery With gladd'ning song returns to me- Is to feel that I was there!

Download or read book Five Dozen Fancies Classic Reprint written by Charles B. Morrell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-25 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Five Dozen Fancies HE poems contained in this little volume are fitly named Five Dozen Fancies. They are nothing more. Occasionally a fancy would slip from a busy pen and form itself into verse, to lie, perhaps, for weeks and months unconsidered and unrevised. Then they have slipped into print. Some have come back to the author from the lips of friends, and this fact is the apology for their appearance in book form. A number of friends have asked for their publication, and have generously offered to pay the cost attached, and I have allowed them to carry out their desires. I am well aware that many of the poems are faulty in their construction - and I have considered the advisability of making changes, but then they would not be free sketches of fancy, but the labored result of effort. Those givenhave been selected by the subscribers, and I let them go as they are, in the hope that they will be reminders of many pleasant hours of friendly intercourse. Thanks are here expressed to the Christian Standard, Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, times-star, Knoxville Journal, and many other papers and magazines, for their kindness in allowing the use of the poems. With the hope that this little volume will bind the sub scribers and the author in bonds of a continued friendship.
