Side 51 - Let us gather up the sunbeams Lying all around our path ; Let us keep the wheat and roses, Casting out the thorns and chaff; Let us find our sweetest comfort In the blessings of to-day, With a patient hand removing All the briers from the way.
Side 105 - I'd see it through, When I come in sight o' the house 'twas some'at in the night, And just as I turned a hilltop I see the kitchen light; Which often a han'some pictur' to a hungry person makes, But it don't interest a feller much that's goin...
Side 51 - If we knew the baby fingers, Pressed against the window pane, Would be cold and stiff to-morrow — Never trouble us again— Would the bright eyes of our darling Catch the frown upon our brow ? Would the print of rosy fingers Vex us then as they do now...
Side 85 - DRAW up the papers, lawyer, and make 'em good and stout ; For things at home are crossways, and Betsey and I are out. We, who have worked together, so long as man and wife, Must pull in single harness for the rest of our nat'ral life. " What is the matter ?

Side 106 - lowin' her too much ; But when she was through she went for me, her face a-streamin' with tears, And kissed me for the first time in over twenty years ! I don't know what you'll think, Sir — I didn't come to inquire — But I picked up that agreement and stuffed it in the fire ; And I told her we'd bury the hatchet alongside of the cow ; And we struck an agreement never to have another row.
Side 86 - I'll sell to a tradin' man I know, And kiss the child that was left to us, and out in the world I'll go. And one thing put in the paper, that first to me didn't occur : That when I am dead at last...
