Our Boys, and Other Poems

A compact collection of short poems and a juvenile prose tale that mixes patriotic wartime verse with playful domestic sketches, nature lyrics, seasonal pieces, and meditations on loss. Several poems urge thrift and celebrate soldiers, while others offer simple moral advice, comic observations about daily life, and floral or seasonal imagery. The second section shifts to a frontier narrative about a youth's encounter with the wild. The overall tone reflects a youthful perspective that balances patriotic sentiment, tender mourning, and childlike wonder at the natural world.
