Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The singing leaves : A book of songs and spells by Josephine Preston Peabody" is a collection of lyric poetry likely composed in the early 20th century. The book gathers an array of poems—often short and musical in tone—that reflect on themes of nature, childhood, the human spirit, and the search for meaning and beauty. Lyrical and contemplative, this work falls within the tradition of poetic anthologies that explore both everyday experiences and more mystical or spiritual ruminations. The content of the book unfolds as a series of poems grouped under thematic sections such as “Songs and Spells,” “The Little Past,” “The Young Things,” and “Others.” Many poems dwell on the tension between longing for adventure and the comfort of home, as well as the ways sorrow and joy intermingle in life. With vivid images drawn from nature, simple yet profound observations of childhood, and reflections on love, faith, and endurance, the collection moves from the innocence and curiosity of youth to the wisdom and acceptance of maturity. Peabody’s verses invite readers to find small wonders in daily life, to cherish fleeting moments, and to transform both happiness and suffering into sources of insight and hope.
