Excerpt from Sacred Poetry Mom of the following poems, as well as others which I have written but not here reprinted, have been long before the public, and many of them extensively circulated in selections of sacred poetry, both in this country and in America, but in a collected form they have for years been out of print. Believing that it is important for a writer to learn to blot, I have shortened some of them from what they were in the former editions, corrected others, and some which have been before printed I have altogether suppressed.
