Book Description
Excerpt from Old Times: A Collection of Poems S I sit by the stove, all polished and nickeled, Where a carpet of velvet covers the floor, I reckon I ought to feel wonderfully tickled While the wind thumps and bangs at the door; Yes, ought to feel glad - so much to admire, But it all will not cure a longing desire A fellow will have for the old hickory fire; With its curling and snapping, And its whirling and lapping; That good old fashioned hickory wood fire. Their anthracite coal don't have any snap; No bright burning flame up the flue rolls; I can't help missing the sweet hickory sap Frying out of the fore-stick over the coals; These new fangled fires are all very well, But one thing I miss, and its easy to tell 'tis the good old fashioned hickory wood smell; That old rustic perfume Which filled up the room; That good old fashioned hickory wood smell. How often we'd sit by that wide open fire, The wild winds howling and roaring outside; The bright hickory flames mounting up higher, Beaming on linsey-woolsey close to our side. Yes, thoughts of it oft' my memory will throng As I dream how, with apples and cider and song, We'd while away evenings that never seemed long; And when the fire burned low, How it would tell of the snow In the old winter evenings that never seemed long. You can take your coal and your natural gas, Which the tastes of to-day are made to desire; The bright burnished stove in its nickel and brass, But give me the old fashioned hickory wood fire; Where, with apples and walnuts, before it we'd sit, While father would doze and mother would knit, And the flames would snap and sparkle and spit; But the fire burned low In the long, long ago, And the ashes of years lie forever on it.

Excerpt from Poems, Vol. 2 If such a thing should happen as that I should outlive you, I wish you would make me your literary legatee and executor. Surely after you are what is called dead you will be willing that the poor ghosts you have left behind should be cheered and pleased by your verses, will you not? You ought to be. I do not think we have a right to withhold from the world a word or a thought any more than a deed which might help a single soul.

Excerpt from More Verses The grass was sparkling with dew-drops It sparkles with frost to-day; Then the sun was shining warmly, The sky was cloudless blue, And the trees in the wood on the hill-top Were bright with a sweet green hue.

Excerpt from In American-Poems "Nothin' or everythin', it's got to be," Nocturne You says, and hides your face down on my arm. "If it meant nothin', 'twouldn't do no harm, Or either everythin' - but this way - see?..." I feel your tremblin' heart against my coat, And the big arc-light moon grins down so cool, "Go on!" I think it says, "you softie fool!..". I love you so it hurts me in my throat... "Don't make me kiss you; sure, I know you could," You're pleadin', "And we gone too far for play; I care a lot... but yet not so's to say I love you yet.... Aw, help me to be good!.... Oh, darlin', darlin', can't you let in be Nothin' to you, and everythin' to me? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Friendship of Learning: And Other Poems This volume, with a'few exceptions, is composed of poems delivered on public occasions and those which, from time to time, have appeared in various publications. As an occasional poem should be judged not only by its literary merit but also by its appropriateness to the time and circumstances of its delivery, a brief account of the four poems of this class seems to be necessary.

Excerpt from Paris and OEnone Shame on you, Melissa! Have you the heart to name that day of woe? The broken heart of Troy sent up that day A groan, which even now is in my ears. I heard it on the mountains, and I wept, Although I knew not what great cause I had. Melissa. I was a child then. But I wonder much What was the wailing that to-day we heard Down by the city gates. These many hours They have been closed, and the plain empty; yet When we passed by this morning, how we saw The battle run like breakers in a bay, Tossing with plumes and lances! Come away. The pathway will be dark under the trees. Melissa. Pyrgo, is Priam dead, or Agamemnon? Or is it fair Prince Paris? What hath happened?
