25. oldal - THIS book is all that's left me now, — Tears will unbidden start, — With faltering lip and throbbing brow I press it to my heart. For many generations past Here is our family tree ; My mother's hands this Bible clasped, She, dying, gave it me.
4. oldal - One chord that any other hand Could better wake or still? Speak now - lest at some future day my whole life wither and decay.
