Surf and Wave

Excerpt from Surf and Wave: The Sea as Sung by the Poets The compiler of these Songs and Poems of the Sea returns thanks to those kind friends whose contributions and encouragement have so greatly aided her work. She trusts that none will miss their favorite poems from these pages; but, should this happen, she hopes to have made amends by offering some lyrics which now appear for the first time, and many others which are rarely to be found. Many of the full-page illustrations, and all of the vignettes which are placed before and after the various divisions of the book, are from original designs by Miss Florentine H. Hayden, to whom the particular gratitude of the compiler and publishers is hereby rendered. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
