I.
Written In The Danville (KY.) Cemetery.
This song that I sing--
In the attic, unused, there they put it away;
I.
I.
I.
I.
I.
(Read Before A Meeting Of The Danville Scribbler Club.)
Some sing of the lily, some sing of the rose,
I.
I.
I.
I.
Where the Cumberland flows on its way to the South,
To Chattanooga's vale, where flows the winding Tennessee,
I.
I.
You may boast about the landscapes fair so far across the sea
I.

Facile Princeps.

Sweet Memory! thou faculty divine--

Fought October 8th, 1862.
I.
(A PARAPHRASE.)
One Autumn evening, wandering, when the sun was hanging low,
I.
(With Apologies To Riley.)
When the burning sun of Summer shines from out a brassy sky,
I.
By magic spell was I entranced
The Springtime am a-comin', and the dogwood soon will bloom,
I.
By the waters of a river, where the rocks like giants stand,
I.
I.
It hangs today where it has hung for fifty years or more,
I.
With its rude walls of stone and its moss-covered roof--
I.
No matter what the weather was, in good old stage coach days,
I.
'Twas a place of fifty acres, in a lonely neighborhood,
I.
I walked within the silent city of the dead,
I can see the back-log blazing and the sparkles take their flight
I.
The sun is sinking where the western hills
Bright visions of childhood! How dear to the heart
When the nights are gittin' chilly and the leaves begin to fade,
I.
I.
I.
