Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Love Poems and the Boyhood of Kentucky's Poet: Being the Life-Story of William Lee Popham
In this volume it is the writer's desire to present in a nut shell a few of hundreds of Love Poems from the pen of William Lee Popham, together with their author's biography.
I do not attempt to' write a full biography of my hero - but give that which I think the world should know of his sweet boyhood and inspired manhood.
His simple, loving, consecrated thoughts in verse and prose have inspired me to this attempt.
It is with the poet's full consent that I write his biograph ical sketch, together with his poems used exclusively herein.
No man ever gave to the world sweeter thoughts of higher endeavor than William Lee Popham, of whom I write. The poet is yet unborn who can excel him in painting mind pictures in natural simplicity, beauty and clearness of thought.
