It was published in the year following her death, after complications during an operation. In the foreword, Harold writes: 'The writer of these verses was snatched from us just as she seemed on the threshold of a fuller, happier life: and we are still sitting in the shadow of that eclipse. [] We preserved her poems because we thought them worthy of being preserved; and now, after careful winnowings, we published a few that seem to deserve a larger life.'
