Notes

  • Dedication: To M. U.

  • Epigraph: If I have ever struck a note, Of gentle thought or softer tone; It is because the thought of you Has never left me quite alone. And grateful for that influence sweet, Through all these long and toilsome times; While we were fated not to meet, I now subscribe to you these rhymes.

      Note/s:
      • Prefatory Note. I have been so frequently asked for copies of my humble compositions, that, with many misgivings, I have decided to print them. I know too well what real poetry is, to claim any merit for them, but their compilation has served to wile away some spells of idleness for me, and it is possible that their perusal may here and there do the same for other persons. F.C.U. Cloncurry, 1891.
