Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Thousand Islands
As it lies like a mirror beneath the moon. Only the shadows tremble and quiver 'neath the balmy breath of a night in June! All dark and silent, each shadowy island Like a silhouette lies on its silver ground, While just above us a rocky highland Towers grim and dusk, with its pine-trees crowned.
Never a sound but the waves' soft splashing, As the boat drifts idly the shore along.
And the darting fire?ies, silently ?ashing. Gleam - living diamonds - the woods among.
