Hiawatha

When the golden sun is sinking,
And your mind from care is free,
When of loved ones you are thinking,
You will sometimes think of me.

Think of me when you are lonely,
Plan for me one little spot,
In the depths of your affections,
Plane the sweetest forgetmenot.

In years to come,
When again you look,
Just give a thought,
To the one who wrote in this book.

 

Pte. A. V. Feltham

June 4th 1915
Years may come and years may go,
Still of thee shall always think,
Your kindness I shall ne'er forget,
When time of parting I shall regret.
~~~~~~~~~
I once has a heart and it was True,
But it has gone from me and Fled to you,
Keep it safe as I have done,
For you have two hearts and I have none.

Private Feltham - I have identified him as 20015, Private Albert V. Feltham of the 1st Battalion the Worcestershire Regiment. - acheux_rifleman

Don't trust the man who says and boasts he is "as honest as the day is long."
He may be a burglar and work by night.

In her clogs and her shawl,
She is fairer than all
~~~~~~~
Its nice to have a nice little wife,
Who would sit in the house all day,
Its nice to have a nice little house,
When you've got no rent to pay,
But when you get up in the mornin'
And the kids begin to squall,
Its nicer when you get married,
To have no kids at all.

Love is blind some people say,
others seem to doubt it,
but I for my part fancy they,
don't know much about it.

A table spoon is a handy thing,
A tea spoon is much neater,
Of all the spoons that I enjoy,
A sofa spoon is much the sweeter.

The Best of them all
~~~~~~~~~~~
I have lived and I have loved,
I Have worked and I have slept,
I have sung and I have danced,
I have smiled and I have wept,
I have won and wasted treasure,
I have had my full of pleasure.

And all these things but two things,
Were emptiness and pain.
And Love - it was the best of them,
And sleep - worth all the rest of them.

The Divine destiny of Man

These kings shall be a loftier race,
Than e'er the world hath known shall rise,
With flame of freedom in their souls,
And light of knowledge in their eyes.

The practice of "make-up" is so common amongst the young women of the States, that if you kiss the Modern girl, you stand a chance of dying from painters' colic.

By Hook or by Crook
I am hanged if I'll be the Last to write in this book.

 

 

Ladies shirts are getting shorter,
They will reach the limit soon,
At the present rate they oughter
Be about knee-deep in June.
