PREFACE
IN WRITING this little book of recitations it has been the aim of the author to help fill a long-felt want, namely: A work written especially for children; with recitations suitable for all occasions, that will please the children.
Any little girl can find in this book "some piece to speak," from the time she learns to talk until the time shall arrive for her to lay away her dollies for other joys that come with later years.

| My daughter, Laila Myrtle, Though your years are only few, This book of "Mama's Poems" I dedicate to you. Some were written while you slumbered, Some were written while you played; Some the Muses brought to mama While at grandma's you have stayed. Some were written for your pleasure "'Cause you always liked to speak," So I penned "Only a Sparrow," That the moral you might teach. When you are grown, my daughter, And back upon your childhood look, Oh! how sweet will be the memories Of the writing of this book! |
