These poems are mostly inspired by rural scenery about the city and are mainly descriptive of nature and of the various languages in which she speaks. Other poems are pictures of European travel, others again reminiscences of happy youth and school days. Mr. Harlow's best work is descriptive and many of his lines are dainty and melodious.
