The Factory-Bell and Other Poems (1873)

DEDICATION.

  TO the honest, industrious poor, and to all good and feeling hearts everywhere, these Poems are dedicated. If it be true that “what comes from the heart goes to the heart,” I shall have no doubt of success in my undertaking.”

May the shamrock, the thistle, the rose and the mayflower,
At no distant day in sweet harmony twine,
And the nations of earth, thence forgetting their quarrels,
Like brothers be guided by friendship divine.
