Oh! my lovely walk, Down love’s shady way, The birds soft, sweet singing Adds beauty to the day.
Have you ever stopped to think, my friend, Of your simple life from beginning to end. It pays us now to pull with strife For youth comes but once in life. There’s two paths up and down the hill To seek one or the other is your own free will.
The moment I saw Your dear sweet face, Cupid with its arrow Took its place.
Be not discouraged over life’s hard struggle, Have brighter thoughts and discouragement shrugs.
Love is a link, a connector of hearts, Allow no one to tear it apart. It’s a food for heart, soul and mind, True love is ever blind.
Train your children manners and behavior While around the cradle they creep, Then good tidings will ever follow them After you sleep in the deep.
On yonder hill sits a genius In heaven’s guiding hand, That pours his thoughts just as he writes His power is God not man.
When the heart is crippled And the soul cannot be raised, Just think of dear old mother That’s the spark that lights the blaze.
Just a word of consolation While I dream night and day, Will help me climb the ladder of fame Though the top is far away.
My heart at times loses a beat, But the trouble will ne’er be known, For I have that much mother wit Each tub has a bottom of its own.
It’s easy to be good in life, But hard to be faultless.
Good thoughts on the mind Should lie deep in the heart.
So bountifully in, flows the word keep peace. Dare not e’er to intrude.
A man who smiles through the deepest of sorrow To his own heart adds a value untold.
