PREFACE.

THESE "Songs of the Glens of Antrim " have

nearly all, like their predecessors, appeared

in the pages of 'Blackwood's Magazine.' So

have the "Songs from North-West Canada."

The "Translations from Italian Poets"

were written for a review of the 'Oxford

Book of Italian Verse,' which appeared in

* Blackwood's Magazine' for April 1911.

Of the many unknown friends who have

sent me letters and messages, I desire most

to thank the one who told me of a young

soldier who took my little book with him

to the trenches, and read the 'Songs' to a

comrade, before he gave his life on the field

" for Freedom and Honour."

MOIRA O'NEILL.
