Excerpt from Whisperings of Nature The author has sought to catch hold in verse glimpses of life and the harmony of law and order in their manifest operations in mind andmatter. With a love for the silent hints and whisperings of nature, and with modest, earnest desire to know the hidden springs of truth, he has found in earth and sky, plants and flowers, rain and sunshine, lessons of poetic beauty which inspired the soul to sing in humble, honest har mony (we trust) with nature.
