Lyrics Of Sunshine And Shadow Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Lyrics of Sunshine and Shadow A Boy's Summer Song 'Tis fine to play In the fragrant hay, And romp on the golden load; To ride old Jack To the barn and back, Or tramp by a shady road. To pause and drink, At a mossy brink; Ah, that is the best of joy, And so I say On a summer's day, What's so fine as being a boy? Ha, Ha! With line and hook By a babbling brook, The fisherman's sport we ply; And list the song Of the feathered throng That flit in the branches nigh.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from In Sunshine and in Shadow At the request of many friends I publish this little volume of poems and short stories, written by my beloved granddaughter. Much has necessarily been omitted, as they were for the most part written down on anything available at the moment - backs of envelopes, pieces of music, margins of books - in pencil, and in many instances almost illegible. Thus I have had great difficulty in collecting them; but I rest satisfied that, whatever their faults, they will meet with no harsh criticism, for her dear sake.

Excerpt from Sunshine and Shadows Joseph S. Deramus, author of this volume of verse, is a poet in the highest sense of the word. He has the imagination, depth of feeling, and knowledge of life which, combined with metrical skill, enable him to make a strong appeal to the human heart. The cynicism of modern thought is foreign to his nature, for the love of the Great Creator is in his heart and he can recognize His work on every hand. His understanding is keen, his sympathies broad and deep. He has the true poet's sense of the vital element in common things, and sings of them naturally' and fondly. He is not enslaved by conventional rules of diction, but has a happy faculty of easy and familiar expres sion. His poems are of the kind that high-minded men memorize for repetition to their fellows the kind that mothers read to their children with mutual understanding and benefit. Nearly all of the poems collected in these pages have appeared hitherto in well-known newspapersand magazines. In the publication of this, his first book of verse, my friend deramus makes a lively bid for more general approval of his work, by embodying it in a form of greater permanence. May this laudable undertaking prove successful and these poems, possessing indubitable human interest, meet with the approbation they deserve!
