Part of Souvenir Folder of Library of Congress (ALA0004969). Caption reads: "BOY OF WINANDER, LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, WASHINGTON, D. C. THE BOY OF WINANDER - BY H. O. WALKER. There was a Boy; ye knew him well, ye cliffs / And islands of Winander! - many a time, / At evening, when the earliest stars began / To move along the edges of the hills, / Rising or setting, would he stand alone, / Beneath the trees, or by the glimmering lake; / And there, with fingers interwoven, both hands / Pressed closely palm to palm and to his mouth / Uplifted, he, as through an instrument, / Blew mimic hootings to the silent owls / That they might answer him. - Wordsworth."
