The November sun invites me,
And although the chill wind smites me,
I will wander to the woodland
...
ON a summer's day as I sat by a stream,
A dainty maid came by,
And she blessed my sight like a rosy dream,
...
Over the hills and the valleys of dreaming
Slowly I take my way.
Life is the night with its dream-visions teeming,
...
When de fiddle gits to singin' out a ol' Vahginny reel,
An' you 'mence to feel a ticklin' in yo' toe an' in yo' heel;
...
The word is writ that he who runs may read.
What is the passing breath of earthly fame?
But to snatch glory from the hands of blame--
...
I.
AH, yes, 't is sweet still to remember,
Though 't were less painful to forget;
For while my heart glows like an ember,
...
THE moon has left the sky, love,
The stars are hiding now,
And frowning on the world, love,
...
I'VE a humble little motto
That is homely, though it's true, —
Keep a-pluggin' away.
It's a thing when I've an object
...
SO we, who've supped the self-same cup,
To-night must lay our friendship by;
Your wrath has burned your judgment up,
...
