Book excerpt: Excerpt from Heaven on Earth and Other Poems In 1919 a small edition of my book, Heaven on Earth and Other Poems appeared. Since its publication I have written several poems and also made slight corrections in a few of my poems formerly published. This Second Edition Enlarged contains sixty - five of my poems and two of my prose sketches, divided into Later and Early Poems. I have had an aim and a purpose in writing poetry and prose. I wrote Heaven on Earth, Greetings From Puget Sound, The Soul of the Poet, The Blooms of Deschi, and others, for the purpose of instilling into the human soul a love for the beautiful, grand and sublime. I wrote Emblem of Freedom and Spirit of Liberty to show that a citizen of this country must be true at heart to be an American - native born or adopted. Men and women must be brave, pure and loyal. I wrote King Bacchus, The Crimson Cup, Reflections of Pete La boe, and others, to reveal evil and wrong. We have to show up and break up evil and wrong to permit the ihflowing and infilling of sunshine. I wrote Uncle Sam in Prophecy about three months before the signing of the armistice with Germany. The purpose of this poem is to show the great work that the United States has been doing and will be doing for the good of the world. In brief, all of my poems and prose sketches have an aim and a purpose. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
