In some cases, e.g. ”Love Songs” and ”Spoon River Anthology”, there is a selection of short poems grouped together under the t.i.tle of the book from which they were drawn -- though in the case of ”Love Songs”, only the first four are actually from the book of the same name.

Due to the technical limitations of ASCII, accents were not included in the text. However, a complete list follows of each line where an accent occurred in the original. The ”pipe” character (

) indicates a special character, and a marker for the accent follows, except in cases where two vowels make a combined character, as in C(ae)sar.

The appropriate accents should be obvious. The affected lines are:

Ad Matrem Amantissimam et Carissimam Filii in

Aeternum Fidelitas.
