ACKNOWLEDGMENTS TO PUBLISHERS AND AUTHORS
It sometimes happens that there are people who do not know that
authors are protected by copyright laws. A publisher once cited to me
an instance of a teacher who innocently put forth a little volume of
poems that she loved and admired, without asking permission of any
one. Her annoyance was boundless when she found that she had no
right to the poems.
Special permission has been obtained for each copyrighted poem in this
volume, and the right to publish has been purchased of the author or
publisher, except in those cases where the author or the publisher has,
for reasons of courtesy and friendship, given the permission.
In addition to the business arrangements which have been made, we
wish to extend our thanks and acknowledgments to those firms which
have so kindly allowed us to use their material.

Childhood," "The Skeleton in Armour," "The Wreck of the Hesperus,"
