Chimneysmoke
By Christopher Morley
CHIMNEYSMOKEHIDE AND SEEKTHE ROCKING HORSESONGS FOR A LITTLE HOUSEMINCE PIE
New York: George H. Doran Company
This hearth was built for thy delight
This hearth was built for thy delight,For thee the logs were sawn,For thee the largest chair, at night,Is to the chimney drawn.For thee, dear lass, the match was lit,To yield the ruddy blaze—May Jack Frost give us joy of itFor many, many days.

There are a number of poems in this collection that have not previously appeared in book form. But, as a few readers may discern, many of the verses are reprinted fromSongs for a Little House(1917),The Rocking Horse(1919) andHide and Seek(1920). There is also one piece revived from the judicious obscurity of an early escapade,The Eighth Sin, published in Oxford in 1912. It is on Mr. Thomas Fogarty's delightful and sympathetic drawings that this book rests its real claim to be considered a new venture. To Mr. Fogarty, and to Mr. George H. Doran, whose constant kindness and generosity contradict all the traditions about publishers and minor poets, the author expresses his permanent gratitude.
