A Treasury of Canadian Verse, with Brief Biographical Notes

This book is a celebrated collection of delightful Canadian verses.

These factors will keep the reader invested throughout. This collection contains many pleasant and absorbing verses like Grant Allen's Only an Insect; Elizabeth Roberts Macdonald's A Song of Seasons; Goldwin Smith's Flossy to her Mistress; Eva Rose York's I shall not pass this way again, and many more.
