 "Careful with fire," is good advice, we know:
"Careful with words," is ten times doubly so. Thoughts unexpressed may sometimes fall back dead; But God himself can't kill them when they're said. |
| But I have learned a thing or two; I know as sure as fate, When we lock up our lives for wealth, the gold key comes too late. |
| I've watched my duty, straight an' true,
An' tried to do it well; Part of the time kept heaven in view, An' part steered clear of hell. |
| If there's a heaven upon the earth, a fellow knows it when
He's been away from home a week, and then gets back again. |
| If we who have sailed together
Flit out of each other's view, The world will sail on, I think, Just as it used to do. |
| Over all our happy country -- over all our Nation spread, Is a band of noble heroes -- is our Army of the Dead. |
| So I have talked with Betsey and Betsey has talked with me, And we have agreed together that we can't never agree |
| Things at home are crossways, and Betsy and I are out. |
| Things at home are crossways, and Betsy and I are out. |
| To appreciate heaven well, it's good for a person to have some fifteen minutes of hell. |
| Underneath an apple-tree
Sat a maiden and her lover; And the thoughts within her he Yearned, in silence, to discover. Round them danced the sunbeams bright, Green the grass-lawn stretched before them While the apple blossoms white Hung in rich profusion o'er them. |
| We arg'ed the thing at breakfast, we arg'ed the thing at tea, And the more we arg'ed the question, the more we didn't agree |
| Worm or beetle -- drought or tempest -- on a farmer's land may fall,
Each is loaded full o' ruin, but a mortgage beats 'em all. |
