Remarkable little book
I inherited a 1915 ed. copy of this book.Nearly a century after it's printing (and more than a century after the first printing) the book is highly browsable, a light but meaningful read in one or several pages at a sitting.Poetry that truly stands the test of time.

The little old poem that nobody reads
Blooms in a crowded space,
Like a ground-vine blossom, so low in the weeds
That nobody sees it's face-
Unless, perchance, the reader's eye
Stares through a yawn, and hurries by,
For no one wants, or loves, or heeds,
The little old poem that nobody reads.

The little old poem that nobody reads
Was written - where?- and when?
Maybe a hand of goodly deeds
Thrilled as it held the pen;
Maybe the fountain whence it came
Was a heart brimmed o'er with tears of shame,
And maybe it's creed in the worst of creeds-
The little old poem that nobody reads.

But, little old poem that nobody reads,
Holding you here above
The wound of a heart that warmly bleeds
For all that knows not love,
I well believe if the old World knew
As dear a friend as I find in you,
That friend would tell it that all it needs
Is the little old poem that nobody reads. ... Read more
