DAVIES, W.H. "Quiet Streams," [c. 1916], 8°, 15 poems in Davies' hand, each on a separate sheet of headed writing paper, with minor corrections to two poems, and a loosely-inserted one page autograph letter from Davies to James Guthrie dated 11th March 1916 referring briefly to two of the poems, bound in full green crushed morocco by Sangorski & Sutcliffe. This collection was to be published by James Guthrie at his Pear Tree Press, under the title "Quiet Streams" but the project was abandoned. According to notes in Kenyon's hand, two poems, "While Summer's Lovely Fields" and "To a Proud Lady" have never been published, and five others had been altered when they appeared in Collected Poems of W.H. Davies (1943).
