A Sheaf of Poems (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from A Sheaf of Poems In this volume the various minor translations of Bayard Taylor have been collected for the first time. To them have been added a number of poems of different authors, translated by Bayard Taylor's daughter. As the latter has followed the precepts of her father in reproducing the poems in their original meters, it seems fitting to intersperse her translations with those of her father, so as to ar range them all as a whole. Those translations which are the product of Mrs. Kiliani are desig nated by her initials: L. B. T. K. Some of the poems translated by Bayard Taylor have appeared in early editions of his Poems. A few have been published here and there during his life-time. Most of them, however, have been col lected from his prose volumes, and principally from Studies in German Literature, and Critical Es says and Literary Notes, a volume issued after the author's death and now out of print.
