Excerpt from The Hard Times Edition To the readers of this little booklet I beg to say, that this is my first effort to acquaint the world that I had any thoughts of this kind and I feel like one who has wandered long in the darkness of night and at last catches a glimpse of the gray dawn. Whether I will ever live to see it brighten into beautiful sunlight I cannot say as none but The Great Creator of minds can know and He will not tell. However, if I have even written one line or offered one suggestion to men that may lead to a better mode of existence I shall feel fully repaid for all of my efforts. As to my poems I must say that they are real and the heroines are now living who charmed my mind and heart into writing them. The Stolen Swamp Kiss is also real but I was only ten years old when this happened. I had just woven a garland of beautiful wild flowers for her and placed it upon her head and it made her look so lovely that I had to let my heart have its way. Alas, Alas, the garland she now wears is no earthly garland. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
