Synopsis
Excerpt from The Children's Treasury of English Song, Vol. 1
The standard Of merit as poetry (so far as the editor, aided by some friends distinguished by good judgment and scholarship, may have been success ful in preserving it), has excluded a certain number of popular favourites. But the standard of 'suita bility to childhood,' as here understood, has ex cluded many more pieces pictures Of life as it seems to middle-age - poems coloured by sentimentalism or morbid melancholy, however attractive to readers no longer children - love as personal passion or regret (not love as the groundwork of action) artificial or highly allusive language - have, as a rule, been held unfit. The aim has been to shun scenes and sentiments alien from the temper Of average healthy childhood, and hence of greater intrinsical difficulty than poems containing un usual words. Hence, although the rules of choice have given this book, as compared with many of its predecessors, an unfamiliar air, yet it is believed that the contents will in fact prove ultimately at least as comprehensible to children between the ages Specified.
