Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Songs of a Mother
In vast unwatered tracts where all seems dead, The gorgeous cactus blossoms are unfurled; And lily-like the yucca lifts its head, In the untrodden deserts of the world. He clothes the Highland heath with purple bloom, And sprinkles blue-bells in the English sod; And spreads o'er all the autumn fields of home The matchless splendor of the goldenrod.
