The first part of the book displays this poem, "The Idle Singer" by William Morris; however, the poem has had two stanzas cut and the name shortened from the original "The Idle Singer of and Empty Day." It's assumed that both the poem and title were shortened in order to fit everything on a single page. 

This is the edition page. The type is hand-printed with a press, while the digit and Hubbard's script are added by hand with a pencil. Assumed a lead pencil.

This is the title page, and the first page that Hubbard uses a mimicing style as Morris with block print. You can see in the left of this image that the ink has transfered to the other page.
