      Note to the Reader

      Please take the time to adjust the size of the text on your device so that the line of characters below appears on one line, if possible.

      Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Pellentesque euismod.

      When this text appears on one line on your device, the resulting settings will most accurately reproduce the layout of the text on the page and the line length intended by the author. Viewing the title at a higher than optimal text size or on a device too small to accommodate the lines in the text will cause the reading experience to be altered considerably; single lines of some poems will be displayed as multiple lines of text. If this occurs, the turn of the line will be marked with a shallow indent.

      Thank you. We hope you enjoy these poems.
