BON VOYAGE

LAST YEAR, DEAR FRIENDS, WE MET "AT HOME,"
AND NOW "ABROAD" WE MEAN TO ROAM:
WITH ALL WHO CHOOSE TO SPARE THE TIME
WE'LL WANDER TO A NEIGHBOURING CLIME.
NOR NEED YOU LEAVE YOUR OWN FIRESIDE,
FOR WITH FAIR FANCY FOR OUR GUIDE,
OUR WINGED THOUGHTS, IN SWALLOW-FLIGHT,
SHALL CROSS THE CHANNEL SMOOTH AND BRIGHT:
AND IN DESPITE OF WIND OR WEATHER,
WE'LL MAKE OUR LITTLE TOUR TOGETHER.

NOW ON OUR PICTURES YOU SHALL LOOK:--
TO YOU WE DEDICATE OUR BOOK.
