Notes

  • Dedication: To My Wife
    You read through to the end,/ Then whispered jealously,/ "But, oh, you haven't penned/ A single verse to Me!"
    But all the love you give/ Dare I in words disperse?/ When, in my heart you live,/ What? Bury you in verse?
  • Foreword by Arthur H. Adams
  • Six sections: 'Maori Legends'; 'Verses of the Dominion and the Commonwealth'; 'Lyrics'; 'Sonnets'; 'The Star Sonnets'; and, 'Interrogations'
