Excerpt from The Palace of Shushan: And Other Poems
The Publishers have issued this small volume of Poems, because they are worthy of such a setting as has been given them. They are written by a devout Church woman, living in Community life.
In this country, poems which breathe of sacramental life, or are what Churchmen understand by the term "Churchly," seldom find a publisher. Hence, Church people are dependent on English sources for poetical readings, or must use what are called "Religious poems" other than from Church sources, when desiring poetical writings of a devout character. These latter do not suit the tastes of Church people.
This little volume is given to the public as a test of the demand for verses of a high order of spiritual composition. The Publishers, having done their part, await the verdict of their constituency.
