TO THE READER. THIS edition contains several of the author's poems which have not appeared in any previous collection. These, as well as the others in the volume, have been made to follow each other in the order in which they were written, the author deeming this arrangement to be quite as satisfactory to the reader as any classification founded on the nature of the subjects or their mode of treatment. NEW YORK, June, 1871. The Love of God. (From the Provençal of Bernard Rascas) From the Spanish of Pedro de Castro y Añaya Sonnet. (From the Portuguese of Semedo) A Northern Legend.
