Book Description

Excerpt from Johnny Appleseed's Rhymes Johnny Appleseed's Rhymes. There is a music in the time, There is a music in the heart; The former runs into a rhyme, Then seeks its tuneful counterpart. Some days it is a blessing, Some days it is a curse; But cursing or caressing, Straightway it turns to verse. How to get rid of evils? Rhymes have power to cast out devils; Many a time I would have cried, Had I not versified. A word often longs to be mated With the sound of jolly cris-cringle, Such a word is certainly fated To run off with a jingle. Many thine ills, but do not complain, Bravely in silence bear them alone; If thou tell them, thy neighbor will tell thee again A hundred of his to one of thine own.
