Never Restrain a Tear. Never restrain a tear, Let it flow when it will, And though it marrs the face It makes the spirit still. Never restrain your tears Let them silently flow, And though they mar the face They calm the spirit so. Never restrain your tears, Let them flow down your cheek, And though they mar the face, They make the spirit meek. Never restrain a tear, It washes away a fear, It helps your pains to bear, And greets your days with cheer. - 16 -

Some Single-Stanzas and Limericks I If life is null, Don't worry, As long as it is merry, But if it is dull II The silent stars That sing by night, Oh, how their music Lures my sight. III Beauty is a toy Which you have, or ne'r will get, Virtue is a priceless pearl That you can cultivate. IV For a man is a mystery No woman can know, But hold him and kiss him, And then must let go. - 17 -
