TO

MY SISTER
SARAH DUDLEY ROBBINS

Without whose help, inspiration
and encouragement in years that
have fled, this little book could

never have been written

In far off days thy hopes were high
But to thy dreams thou saidst goodbye
For an orphaned brood claimed toilsome days
Of a spirit framed for stateliest ways
But now they haste with glad acclaim
To crown each victory with thy name
