We've been half-starved all winter, but spring will soon be here And she tells us, ' Keep up courage,...
第66页 - twas true ! Ma was well, and we were happy ; round our doorstone roses grew. We had everything we wanted, food enough, and clothes to wear; And my hand burns where an angel touched it soft with fingers fair." As she looked and saw the money in her fingers glistening bright — " Well, now, ma has long been praying, but she won't believe me quite, How you've sent 'way up to heaven, where the golden treasuies are, And have also got an angel clerking at your grocery bar.
