Excerpt from From the Cradle to the Grave: And Other Poems I Have had this topic in mind - "From The Cradle to the Grave" - for over twenty years, but deferred writing from time to time, thinking some one more competent than myself might undertake the task. However, I have watched the productions of our great composers, but have failed, as yet, to see anything touching upon the various points of character which will be found embodied in this variegated topic. I have, to some extent, watched the transformation of those once helpless infants, as I saw them in the cradle, to leaders in society, teachers and professors of science and the arts. Nature's development with discipline and education has wrought the change. Such is the great desideratum in all progress. When we contemplate those master minds who have been, and are now, engaged in the different branches of science and the arts, and know that but a few years since they were infants in that helpless state, our minds are awed with wonder to behold such a change.
