Poems by Edgar Albert Guest
Thanksgiving
... An' eatin' an' laughin' with folks of your choice ...
The Bachelor's Soliloquy
... cowards of us all,And thus the native hue of matrimonyIs sicklied o'er with the pale cast of chores ...
The Little Orphan
... That what he thought were sun-kissed hills are rags upon the floor ...
Yesterday
... When I played--yesterday!"I have no yesterdays to count, ...
A Boy At Christmas
... m. to see, With eager, happy, boyish eyes, my presents on the Christmas tree ...
Selfish
... Coz I know, old tried an' faithful, that if such a thing could be ...
Ten Fingered Mice
... Smooth and perfect through the daytime, for the hearts of them must ache ...
What To Do
... I 'd search the town, both up and down, ...
The Brethren
... The world needs men who will not brag, ...
Answering Age
... Let him dull your eyes, if need be, weight your feet with bygone years, ...
When We Were Kids
... Now th' same sunbeams come callin', an' th' same song birds come near, ...
When Father Shook The Stove
... The pictures left by old Jack Frost ...
The Man To Be
... The laughter and the grief of life that all who come to earth must know ...
Trouble Brings Friends
... Sometimes it's one you've known before, and then perhaps it's someone new ...
Memories Of Tomorrow
... Hours now dark with care and sorrow, ...
