Introduction
The poems contained in this volume have been carefully selected from
the vast storehouse of poetical works, and comprise only those that I feel
will be helpful and pleasure-giving. The poetical gems contained herein are
teeming with life and inspiration and will touch a responsive chord in all
who may read them. It is hoped that this book may become a "ready
reference" volume that will be found pleasurable in times of joy, and
strengthening in the vicissitudes of daily life. Each poem is selected with
the idea of lifting us out of the commonplace—up to the plane of higher and
better living. This uplifting influence, combined with the inspiration that
comes only from such a source, will make us better and happier men and
women. Many of these poems have long been the "favorites" of the lovers
of poetry, and it is the hope of the editor that these masterpieces of the poets
may be brought within easy reach of all—without necessitating a reference
to large and cumbersome volumes.
I hope that this book may be found by many a fountain of inspiration and
exalted pleasure—a means of sweetening solitude or animating friendly
intercourse. May it be a companion of good and beautiful thoughts that will
teach us to love and appreciate with enduring life—these our poets—who
have given us their best, that we thereby might be strengthened, encouraged
and beautified.

PRESS ON
Press on! Surmount the rocky steeps,
Climb boldly o'er the torrent's arch;
He fails alone who feebly creeps,
He wins who dares the hero's march.
Be thou a hero! Let thy might
Tramp on eternal snows its way,
And through the ebon walls of night
Hew down a passage unto day.

CONCORD HYMN
By the rude bridge that arched the flood,
Their flag to April's breeze unfurled,
Here once the embattled farmers stood,
And fired the shot heard round the world.
JUDGE NOT
BE STRONG?
Be strong!
We are not here to play, to dream, to drift;
We have hard work to do, and loads to lift;
Shun not the struggle—face it! 'tis God's gift.
Be strong!
Say not, "The days are evil. Who's to blame?"
And fold the hands and acquiesce—oh shame!
Stand up, speak out, and bravely, in God's name.
Be strong!
It matters not how deep intrenched the wrong,
How hard the battle goes, the day how long;
Faint not—fight on! To-morrow comes the song.
—Maltbie Davenport Babcock.
