FRANK LEBBY STANTON
American editor and poet
(1857 - 1927)

This world o' God's is brighter than we ever dream or know;
  Its burdens growin' lighter--an' it's Love that makes 'em so!
    An' I'm thankful that I'm livin' where Love's blessedness I see,
      'Neath a heaven that's forgivin', where the bells ring "Home" to me!
      - [Thanksgiving Day]

Sweetheart, when you walk away,
  Be it dark or be it day;
    Dreary winter, fairy May,
      I shall know and greet you.
        For each day of grief or grace
          Brings you nearer my embrace;
            Love hath fashioned your dear face,
              I shall know you when I meet you.
      - Greeting [Love]

If you strike a thorn or rose,
  Keep a-goin'!
    If it hails or if it snows,
      Keep a-goin'!
        'Tain't no use to sit and whine
          'Cause the fish ain't on your line;
            Bait you hook an' keep on tryin',
              Keep a-goin'!
      - Keep a-goin' [Progress]

Sweetest li'l' feller, everybody knows;
  Dunno what do call him, but he's mighty lak' a rose;
    Lookin' at his mammy wid eyes so shiny blue
      Mek' you think that Heav'n is comin' lost ter you.
      - Mighty Lak' a Rose [Babyhood]

She's up there--Old Glory--where lightnings are sped,
  She dazzles the nations with ripples of red,
    And she'll wave for us living, or droop o'er us dead--
      The flag of our country forever.
      - Our Flag Forever [Flags]
