A Sick Man's Dream
A narrator recalls a sacred wood dream filled with vivid visions of beauty and a beloved figure. The dream evokes Elysium like joy, then shifts to themes of hope, youth, and love, tempered by a later, somber voice warning of life’s storms and urging calm for a beloved lady.
Sally Lyon's Struggle Shows A Wife's Resolve Against Drink
In a tale of hardship, Sally Lyon endures poverty and her husband Ralph's drinking. She doubles as breadwinner sewing while he sinks deeper in debt. After facing jail, she pawns heirlooms to free him, then confronts him at an alehouse, pledging to stop the cycle. Their repentance brings light, work, and a hopeful restart.

My Little Boy That Died
Four years four bright and happy years we had thee here my boy But thou art gone and grief and tears fill the place of joy Our home seems lonely lonely now Without thy merry song And sad oh sad is thy father's brow For his sweet boy is gone The little sister asks for thee And wonders if you ll come To play with her in childish glee In this our once glad home I m listening to her sweet voice now Inquiring why you stay From this your bright and happy home So long so long away In midnight dreams in waking how I ee thee yet sweet boy Chasing birds or gathering flowers Thine eyes lit up with joy But ah I know full well sweet one Thy soul hath gladly fled And though thy fort to earth is gone Thy orn is not dead Franklin Pa 1856
