Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from In the Garden of Abdullah, and Other Poems
I did not offer the work to a publisher, because I had not sufficient confidence in myself as a poet. I looked upon my verses as a boy regards some stolen sweets which he hides lest he be found out and punished for his act. The English language being with me one acquired, I was keenly fearful of the critics' cry what I, a foreign Saul, was doing among the Prophets of English prosody.
