Postcard: Front: Mountain Scenery
The path uphill, around the pine,-
One common thought, 'tis yours and mine;
Much could be said about this place,
This blessing to the human race.
It stands in majesty alone,
And better even than a throne,-
The carpenter built it for two,
And backward glance, with pride to view.
"Tis rough from mountain lumber made,
Beneath the forest's cooling shade,-
Concealed with brush, before and 'hind,
Long may it stand and serve mankind.

First Snowdrops of Springtime
Sweet whisperings bring,
Of bees, buds and flowers,
And birds on the wing,
All singing one chorus -
Be glad
It is Spring.
