Poems by Edgar Albert Guest
The Evening Prayer
... With your eyes closed and your hands ...
When Nellie's On The Job
... And though you hired the queen of cooks to fashion your croquettes, ...
Two Viewpoints
... Where there's hustle an' bustle, an' something to'see, ...
Happiness
... If you don't find happiness where they are playing, ...
A New Year's Plea
... Teach me, when troubled, with patience to wait ...
It's a Boy
... And lived those years of fearful thoughts, and then been swept from woe ...
When Ma Wants Something New
... " "When these are washed they look all right ...
The Joys We Miss
... Death robs the living, not the dead-they sweetly sleep whose tasks are done ...
The Obligation Of Friendship
... Is to be what our friends think we are, through and through ...
A Boy And His Dad
... And the thoughts he thinks and his every whim, ...
The Time For Brotherhood
... That's the time he needs your friendship ...
I Mustn't Forget
... Mustn't keep the bit in their mouths too tight, ...
The Boy And The Flag
... But, Oh! I want him, through and through, ...
The Rough Little Rascal
... A smile that shines out through the dirt and the grime, ...
Little Wrangles
... An' if such a thing could happen, we could share life's joys an' tears ...
