Excerpt from At Sunset
The putting together of her Occasional Poems was my mother's latest literary work, and was interrupted by her death, untimely, though in the fullness of years. In completing the publication which she had so much at heart, it has been thought best to include some personal poems which had never been revised by her, since, though her final judgment might have rejected them, one and all breathe her spirit and speak in her voice. To them are added a few poems of various periods which do not appear in any of her previous volumes.
