29.  Up the river and around the end.

My love for you

Will never end.

30.  Love no man not even your brother

If girls must love

Love one another.

31.  Long may you live

Happy may you be

Sitting on the doorstep

Thinking of me.

(This is my favorite. Grandma wrote it in my autograph book when I was about 8 years old. Wish I had taken it a bit more to heart!)

32.  Love many, trust few

And always paddle

your own canoe.

33.  Leaves may wither

Friends may die

They may forget you

but never will I.

34.  Cows like fodder

Sheep like hay.

Girls like hugging

On a very cold day.

35.  When you get old

And cannot see

Put on your specks

And think of me.

36.  When you go to a party

And don't get home till late

Remember it is bedtime

And don't hang on the gate.

37.  Tis sweet to love

But oh, how bitter

To love a girl

And then not get her.

38.  Remember me when far far off

And only half awake

Remember me on your wedding day

And send me a slice of cake.

39.  When you get married

And living at your ease

Remember I am single

And doing as I please.

40.  The taller the tree

The tougher the bark

The taller the girl

The harder to spark.

41.  Love your father. Love your mother.

Love your sister.

Love your Brother.

Love your books and love you toys

But never never love the boys.

     Blind Poets: Homer Assassin, John Milton

42.  If you have nothing
And you lover has nothing
Be not in a hurry to wed
For nothing plus nothing
Makes nothing
And nothing don't chew like bread.

43.  Roses are red
Violets are blue.
Sugar is sweet
And so are you.

44.  The grass is green
The violets blue
Remember me
And I will you.

45.  Where shall we meet love
And when shall it be
I never can live happy
When parted from thee.

(No 46)
47.  When you open this book
And this you see
Close it again and think of me.

48.  When the golden sun is setting
And your mink from care is free
When of absent friends you're thinking

Will you sometimes think of me.
