Excerpt from After Office Hours and Other Poems
To The Reader:
'Tis not to win the golden prize
Or poet's laurel bays,
I've sought to place before your eyes
These few and simple lays.
They've often lightened heavy grief,
Have solaced lonely hours
And proved a source of great relief
When grim misfortune lowers.
And, hence, I wish that I might gain
Your kindly judgment, friend,
For these, my children of the brain,
Who do such comfort lend.
To Abraham, God pledged reprieve
For Sodom's evil throng,
If in it's midst he could perceive
A few who hated wrong.
So, if, amid the ruder strains
Which here do meet your quest,
You find some rarer song obtains,
Let it redeem the rest.
J. W. W.
