Little Rivers: A Book of Essays in Profitable Idleness






DEDICATION

     To one who wanders by my side
     As cheerfully as waters glide;
     Whose eyes are brown as woodland streams,
     And very fair and full of dreams;
     Whose heart is like a mountain spring,
     Whose thoughts like merry rivers sing:
     To her—my little daughter Brooke—
     I dedicate this little book.
