In part: "I fain a winning tale would tell thee, Yet know myself scarce what it is! / Ich mochte dir wohl etwas sagen und weiss doch selbst so rect nicht, was?." The engraved cover portrait of Abt surrounded by cherubs and scrollwork by Traubel was probably done to commemorate Abt's sojourn in America. Trace of foxing on borders. 14" x 10.75" Abt, who wrote in the folk-song spirit, visited the US in 1872.
