DEDICATION
HIS LOVE OF HOME

 
"As love of native land," the old man said,
'Er stars and stripes a-wavin' overhead,
Er nearest kith-and-kin, er daily bread,
A Hoosier's love is for the old homestead."
 

HOME AGAIN WITH ME

 
I'M a-feelin' ruther sad,
Fer a father proud and glad
As I am – my only child
Home, and all so rickonciléd! —
Feel so strange-like, and don't know
What the mischief ails me so! —
 
 
'Stid o' bad, I ort to be

And I' got her home ag'in —
Home ag'in with me!

Nussed her – keerful' as I could —
From a baby, day and night, —
Drawin' on the neighberhood
And the women-folks as light
As needsessity 'u'd 'low —
'Cept in "teethin'," onc't, and fight
Through black-measles…
 
 
Same as ef her mother'd bin
Livin', I have done my best
Don't know now
How we ever saved the child!
Doc hed give her up, and said
(As I stood there by the bed
Sort o' foolin' with her hair
On the hot wet piller there)
"Wuz no use!" – And at them-air
Very words she waked and smiled —
Yes, and knowed me. And that's where
