The Vision of Sir Launfal is a collection of entertaining and elegant poems about God and Randall Parrish's life. Excerpt: "God makes sech nights, all white an' still Fur 'z you can look or listen, Moonshine an' snow on field an' hill, All silence an' all glisten. Zeke crept up quite unbeknown An' peeked in thru' the winder, An' there sot Huldy all alone, With no one nigh to hinder."
