f passionate and tender feeling.
Among these is the 'Funeral March.'"--_N. Y. Tribune._

"A delightful book is the elegant little volume of 'Verses,' by H.
H.,--instinct with the quality of the finest Christian
womanhood.... Some wives and mothers, growing sedate with losses
and cares, will read many of these 'Verses' with a feeling of
admiration that is full of tenderness."--_Advance._

"The poems of this lady have taken a place in public estimation
perhaps higher than that of any living American living poetess....
They are the thoughts of a delicate and refined sensibility, which
views life through the pure, still atmosphere of religious fervor,
and unites all thought by the tender talisman of
love."--_Inter-Ocean._

"Since the days of poor 'L. E. L.,' no woman has sailed into fame
under a flag inscribed with her initials only, until the days of
'H. H.' Here, however, the parallelism ceases; for the fresh,
strong beauty which pervades these 'Verses' has nothing in common
with the rather languid sweetness of the earlier writer. Unless I
am much mistaken, this enlarged volume, double the size of that
originally issued, will place its author not merely above all
American poetesses and all living English poetesses, but above all
women who have ever written poetry in the English language, except
Mrs. Browning alone. 'H. H.' has not yet proved herself equal to
Mrs. Browning in range of imagination; but in strength and depth
the American writer is quite the equal of the English, and in
compactness and symmetry altogether her superior."--_T. W. H. in
the Index._
