Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bird of Dawn, and Other Lyrics The work included herein has been done under difficulties. It is the grist of the years from the publication of Mary Magdalene and Other Poems, in 1914, until now. Some of the friends who inspired my work are dead, - grief has knocked at the door. Sam Wood, natur alist, has gone along. Emmanuel Tasse, of Ottawa, whose wife com posed and brought out our war song, died the following year. The Bridge of Gold was written for him whilst he was still with us. Of our boys who went to the war some of the dearest and best are dead or missing. My thanks to Dr. Watson for his nature poetry, which suggested my title piece, The Bird of Dawn. He made the first copy on his own typewriter in red letter. Again, to John Garvin, of Canadian Poets fame, that unwearying philanthropist to every one of us, genius or scribbler, a very personal feeling of kindness because of his tactful effort to find me work when I was poor and dejected.
