Excerpt from VersesFrancis warren davis was endowed with high gifts of mind and spirit and personality. Early in life he showed a tendency to literary work. He had his schooling in Newton, Mass., at Bowdoin College and at Harvard, from which he hoped to be graduated in 1913. But his activities were interrupted by lingering illness, which ended in his death in November, 1914. His wish was to serve his generation in devotion to literary pursuits. Blessed with a beautiful voice, the symbol of his musical soul, and with a talent for poetic expression, he sang with double appeal to ear and to eye. The poems in this little volume at least preserve the latter appeal.Because, as boy and youth and young man, he was always a devoted son, he never felt that his writings were finished until Mother had affixed the seal of her approval. His spiritual love for her is suggested in several of the following poems.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
