"These poems arouse interest, and justify it by the result. Miss Lowell
is the sister of President Lowell of Harvard. Her art, however, needs
no reflection from such distinguished influence to make apparent its
distinction. Such verse as this is delightful, has a sort of personal
flavour, a loyalty to the fundamentals of life and nationality. . . .
The child poems are particularly graceful." -- 'Boston Evening
Transcript', Boston, Mass.
"Miss Lowell has given expression in exquisite form to many beautiful
thoughts, inspired by a variety of subjects and based on some of the
loftiest ideals. . . .
"The verses are grouped under the captions 'Lyrical Poems', 'Sonnets',
and 'Verses for Children'. . . .
"It is difficult to say which of these are the most successful. Indeed,
all reveal Miss Lowell's powers of observation from the view-point of a
lover of nature. Moreover, Miss Lowell writes with a gentle philosophy
and a deep knowledge of humanity. . . .
"The sonnets are especially appealing and touch the heart strings so
tenderly that there comes immediate response in the same spirit. . . .
"That she knows the workings of the juvenile mind is plainly indicated
by her verses written for their reading." -- 'Boston Sunday Globe',
Boston, Mass.
"A quite delightful little collection of verses." -- 'Toronto Globe',
Toronto, Canada.
"The Lyrics are true to the old definition; they would sing well to the
accompaniment of the strings. We should like to hear "Hora Stellatrix"
rendered by an artist." -- 'Hartford Courant', Hartford, Conn.
"Verses that show delicate appreciation of the beautiful, and
imaginative quality. A sonnet entitled 'Dreams' is peculiarly full of
sympathy and feeling." -- 'The Sun', Baltimore, Md.
