A mother sings a rocking lullaby about a baby and family members going about errands and fishing. The verses note a velvet gown for the baby, a fish from the brook, and a sister's attempt to feed the baby, followed by angels watching and whispering of mother’s love as the child dreams of heaven.
In the Mississippi hinterland action continues as gunboats unload and refugees seek safety aboard a gunboat. George and John Minturn save a hat and log and escape a Confederate pursuit with John thwarting capture, hiding valuables and fleeing across the river. Read on for a mix of domestic notes and culinary tips.
A memoir fragment recounts Bill Nye writing a poem in youth inspired by a playful muse. The tale recalls a long Denver journey, Nye’s quivering influence over a writer, and a faded manuscript kept since 1870.
A humorous verse exchange shows a suitor asking a maid to marry him in humble terms while she recalls his prior claim he would never wed. He blushes and admits his change of heart after admitting he had not yet seen her. The rest of the scene shifts quickly to odd newspaper clippings and a Washington club anecdote.
