I have had this book for many, many years, and have referred to it from time to time. But only recently did I pick it up and read it cover to cover. I have used some of these in writing and speaking, but just sitting and reading them for myself--sometimes aloud--has been a great blessing to me. There are "600 selections of great poetry from the works of more than 300 poets, classic and contemporary"--a description from the very cover of the paperback edition I have, published in September 1973. You will find selection from James Russell Lowell, Paul Laurence Dunbar, Francis Ridley Havergal, Annie Johnson Flint, John Oxenham, Fanny Crosby, William Cowper, and many more.
