Excerpt from Wild Flowers of Poesy: Being a Collection of Poems

The following pages form but a small part of the attempts at verse made during the last fifteen years by a worthy and afflicted man. Joseph H. Butler, now about thirty-eight years of age, is a mechanic, in feeble health and without property. He was born in Bristol, (Eng.) "It was my early misfortune," says he, in a letter, "to be deprived by death of an affectionate mother, and by that event of the advantages of even a common school education. My father always expressed the determination of keeping me from such advantages; but for what reason my friends could never understand. When remonstrated with, he always replied, 'No; I am determined he shall be the framer of his own fortune.' I was fourteen before I could read a word, and then I was my own tutor, having no one to correct my errors or direct my studies."

But though his early years were thus clouded by ignorance, and were spent in hard labor amidst companions almost as uninstructed as himself, he had that within him which could not rest satisfied with the coarse pleasures and idle vacancy so prevalent around him. His heart was keenly alive to the beauties and sublimities of nature. He bad sorrows, too, occasioned by domestic hardships and by ill health which made him thoughtful, and sympathies which prompted a warm interest in the sufferings of the oppressed and afflicted.
