Not illustrated. 2010-08 edition. Excerpt: ...centre of a field It stands alone? Because on every side 'twas free To grow in perfect symmetry. LIFE'S SWEETEST MUSIC. MY life has been thrilled by music A thousand times; By organ with sacred anthem; By pealing chimes; By bands whose heart-stirring message My spirit fired; By singers whose mellow voices Great thoughts inspired; By chorus of storm and thunder And raging sea; By dream songs of fancied glories In days to be; By wind songs among the branches Of tall pine trees; By bird songs borne sweetly to me On summer breeze; But sweeter than these is laughter, V When children play, And shout with their hearts o'erflowing With joy in May.

Defeat should rouse me to decide To keep on bravely trying; True vision of achieving faith Develops hope undying. So never join the men of gloom Whose hearts are full of fearing; Hold up your head and climb the heights With joyous song and cheering. DAY DREAMS. DREAM of great days gone by; Dream of deeds bravely done; Dream of true, noble lives; Dream of grand triumphs won; Dream on, till dreams come true.

Dream of the river path; Dream of the tree and flower; Dream of the afterglow; Dream beauty into power; Dream on, till dreams come true. Dream, till your heart grows strong; Dream, till you feel hope's thrill; Dream, till clear vision comes; Dream beauty into will; Dream on, ..
