Mr. Richard Le Gallienne in theNorth American Reviewpointed out recently “their spontaneous power and freshness, their imaginative vision, their lyrical magic.” He adds: “Mr. Noyes is surprisingly various. I have seldom read one book, particularly by so young a writer, in which so many different things are done, and all done so well.... But that for which one is most grateful to Mr. Noyes in his strong and brilliant treatment of all his rich material, is the gift by which, in my opinion, he stands alone among the younger poets of the day, his lyrical gift.”

“The little ones will love the songs at first for the pure music of their rhythm, later because of the deep embodied truths rather divined than comprehended.... Mr. Noyes is first of all a singer, then something of a seer with great love and high hopes and aims to balance this rare combination. Of course ultramaterialists will pull his latest book to pieces, from the frank preface to the dedication which follows the last chapter. But readers of more gentle fibre will find it not only full of rich imagery and refreshing interest, but also a wonderful passport to the dear child land Stevenson made so real and telling, and which most of us, having left it far behind, would so gladly regain.”—Chicago Record-Herald.

AND OTHER POEMS
The new volume contains a considerable amount of hitherto unpublished work, besides some poems which have been published only in magazines and are practically unknown to American readers. The book bears out the verdict of thePost:—
“It has seemed to us from the first that Noyes has been one of the most hope-inspiring figures in our latter-day poetry. He, almost alone of the younger men, seems to have the true singing voice, the gift of uttering in authentic lyric cry some fresh, unspoiled emotion.”
