Poems by Edgar Albert Guest
The Old-Fashioned Parents
... With their good old-fashioned lassies and their good old-fashioned lads, ...
Show Me!
... I can watch your hands in action, but your tongue too fast may run ...
When Friends Drop In
... For there's something real about it, and the yarns we love to spin, ...
The Mother Faith
... Dry your tears and cease to sigh, keep your mother smile, ...
The Dull Road
... It's the hard road of trying and learning, ...
The Call Of The Woods
... cool, Away from the presence of wall and door, and see myself in a crystal pool ...
Heroes
... And I've often wished in moments that such strength of will were mine ...
At The Cottage
... She made her bed and swept the floor, ...
Consolation
... SO YOU 'RE sobbin' in the night time, an' you 're sighin' through the day, ...
When Pa Counts
... But when the thunder starts to roll, an' lightnin' spits, Ma says, " Oh, dear, ...
When Mother's Sewing Buttons On
... " There's something in her patient eyes, ...
The Peevish Man
... And straightway gets a case of " peeves ...
The Road Builder
... And strive to keep my pathway straight, ...
Life's Slacker
... Some roadway where strange feet may tread ...
His Dog
... His soft, low sign of somethin' wrong, ...
