Poems by Edgar Albert Guest
Playing For Keeps
... I've watched him change from his bibs and things, from bonnets known as "cute," ...
Old-Fashioned Folks
... The good old-fashioned neighbors, too, ...
The States
... Though sweet the charms he knows the best, ...
Aw Gee Whiz!
... Hands and face all smeared with grime, ...
Lord, Make Me A Regular Man
... This I would like to be- just a bit fairer, ...
When A Little Baby Dies
... With my arms outstretched to greet you," ...
Cleaning The Furnace
... Then he pulled apart the chimney, an' 'twas full of something black, ...
The Plugger
... When the great have come to failure with the goal they sought in sight, ...
The Struggle
... And in wresting from things as they are ...
The Kindergarten Miss
... As your little work you 're showing, ...
Move We Adjourn
... There are some who like papers and speeches, ...
The Christmas Spirit
... A fig for your frowning, Old Gloom, and your grouching, ...
A Boy And His Dog
... For they talk and they walk and they run and they play, ...
A Patriotic Wish
... The strong support of all that's best, ...
You
... The thing men call character's all up to you! ...
