MODERN SPANISH LYRICS EDITED WITH INTRODUCTION, NOTES AND VOCABULARY BY ELIJAH CLARENCE HILLS, PH. D., LITT.D. Professor of Romance Languages in Colorado College AND S. GRISWOLD MORLEY, PH. D. University of Colorado NEW YORK HENRY HOLT AND COMPANY 1913 iii PREFACE The present volume aims to furnish American students of Spanish with a convenient selection of the Castilian lyrics best adapted to class reading. It was the intention of the editors to include no poem which did not possess distinct literary value. On the other hand, some of the most famous Spanish lyrics do not seem apt to awaken the interest of the average student: it is for this reason that scholars will miss the names of certain eminent poets of the siglo de oro.
