From the book:

"Portland," Maine
"Ford & Rich Publishers"

"1890"

"The following poems written at intervals and without
thought of publication in permanent form, have been collected
into the present volume, at the suggestion of friends, whose
kindness, perhaps, has accorded them a merit far greater than
they have any right to claim.

"Deprived of sight, I cannot well give them the revision,
that might render them more worthy of the critical reader; yet,
as expressions of earnest feeling and of real experience, I can-
not help hoping they may carry a cheery message, or word of
comfort to some sorrowful soul, who is waiting, alone, in the
shadow.

"Alice Chadbourne."
