PUBLISHERS' NOTE The first two of the poems here printed have long been popular favorites, but the third was not written till near the end of Mr. Harte's life. It rounds out the romance with such completeness and charm that it is peculiarly fitting that the poems should be grouped, and issued in a form worthy of their own excellence. The coöperation of Mr. Keller was secured for making the illustrations, not only on account of his recognized ability as an artist, but also because of his admiration for Mr. Harte's writings and his previous success in illustrating several of the stories. Boston, 4 Park St., October, 1905. |

Is wasting an hour upon you | 13 |
That waits—on the stairs—for me yet | 15 |
With whom do I waltz, flirt, or talk? | 17 |
To look supernaturally grand | 19 |
And the hum of the smallest of talk | 21 |
With the man that shot Sandy McGee. (In color) | 23 |
The man that shot Sandy McGee | 25 |
Of that ride,—that to me was the rarest | 27 |
And swam the North Fork, and all that | 29 |
Mamma says my taste still is low | 31 |
That my heart's somewhere there in the ditches | 33 |

I should write what he runs off his tongue. (In color) | 37 |
Being asked by an intimate party | 39 |
That with you, Miss, he "challenges Fate" | 41 |
Though the claim not, at date, paying wages | 43 |
And the rose that you gave him. (In color) | public@vhost@g@gutenberg@html@files@34227@[email protected]#Page_45" class="pginternal" |
