About this book
River sunlight, winter gardens and the lights of a night ferry give this 1946 poetry collection many of its scenes. Clara Frances McKee Beede writes about the comfort of home, the return of someone loved, children playing beside the river and the changes that each season brings. New York and Oklahoma appear alongside smaller places: a sheltered house, a flower bed and a brook refreshed by rain.
The poems move between brief observations and longer rhymed reflections. Some offer advice about courage and distrust; others turn to prayer, gratitude and affection for America. Nature often gives a way to think about private feelings, as sunshine eases sorrow or winter rest promises spring growth.
