About the Book
Out of the Night
Out of the stillness of the night
Came the sound of the night bird’s trill
It came through the window loud and clear
From the brow of the distant hill.
As I lay there and listened
To his melodious call
The answering trill came in on the wind
Faintly, barely heard at all.
‘Twas a glorious thing of joy to hear
Such beauty out of sight
It made me know that God was there
In the stillness of the night.
About the Author
Dorothy Kilgore Pridemore was born in Knott County in the hills of eastern Kentucky. She began writing her poetry after the untimely death of her first son in 1937. Her poetry writing continued as she became the teacher in the one-room schoolhouse near her home. She loved her life as a wife and mother, and she dearly loved God and Nature; they were common topics of her verse, gathered here in The Other Side of Me.
Her fondest desire was to have this compilation of her poetry published. Her niece, Dorothy Anne Kilgore-Summers, with the encouragement of her husband, Ralph, is now honoring her Aunt Dorothy’s wish; with the publication of this inspiring poetry collection. She was a very happy lady, and her poems examine the many sides of her life.
