A verse praising the successful rider as the world applauds achievement. It extols earning honor and place for those who win, urging all to cheer with strong lungs for the champion rider.

The Spread Eagle Inn Mystery and the American Widow

A wandering writer at the Spread Eagle Inn on Grace Church Street in 1868 narrates a midnight encounter with a mysterious woman in mourning. He becomes entranced by Mrs. Arnold, an American widow whose courage thwarts a hotel burglary led by a masked intruder. After the dramatic rescue, her husband Captain Arnold arrives from India, and the narrator, overwhelmed by jealousy and folly, drinks away his worries as Mrs. Arnold returns to America.

The Convalescent and the Sweet Month of May

The poem extols May as the month of roses and renewal while acknowledging the convalescent. It contrasts vibrant healthy scenes with dark rooms of illness, urging gentle care, fresh air, flowers, and pure water for patients. It ends noting that sickness elevates many to face the Great Beyond with humility and tenderness.
