These jingles, I present to thee, Were written years ago by me; Some are fair and some are not, Some, you’ll say, are simply rot; Some’s not worth the second look-- But then I had to fill the book.
Gather ’round me closely and a story I’ll relate Of life in different stages--its sad and happy state-- When as a youth, before the storm and all the world is fair, And then a man of middle-age, with nothing left but care. Life’s story has a happy hue and the world seems bright, Yes, life is full of sunshine, we can not see the night, And we with hearts all filled with plans, look forward and we see With eyes of hope, our future fights end in a victory.
