album, all alone, And muses on the faces of the friends that he has known, So I turn the leaves of Fancy, til, in shadowy design, I find the smiling features of an old sweetheart of mine.

An Old Sweetheart of Mine," 1875 poem by James Whitcomb Riley (1849-1916) recited by Harry E. Humphrey on Edison Blue Amberol 2630  . As one who cons at evening o'er an album, all alone, And muses on the faces of the friends that he has known, So I turn the leaves of Fancy, til, in shadowy design, I find the smiling features of an old sweetheart of mine. The lamplight seems to glimmer with a flicker of surprise, As I turn it low - to rest me of the dazzle in my eyes, And light my pipe in silence, save a sigh that seems to yoke Its fate with my tobacco and to vanish with the smoke. When we should live together in a cozy little cot Hid in a nest of roses, with a fairy garden-spot, Where the vines were ever fruited, and the weather ever fine, And the birds were ever singing for that old sweetheart of mine.

Gunga Din" is an 1890 poem by Rudyard Kipling, set in British India. The poem is much-remembered by its final line: "You're a better man than I am, Gunga Din", often quoted in the UK in reaction to self-praise. Tho' I've belted you and flayed you, By the livin' Gawd that made you, You're a better man than I am, Gunga Din! from "Gunga Din".

Gunga Din - You may talk o' gin an' beer. You squidgy-nosed old idol, Gunga Din!" The uniform 'e wore Was nothin' much before, An' rather less than 'arf o' that be'ind, For a twisty piece o' rag An' a goatskin water-bag Was all the field-equipment 'e could find. When the sweatin' troop-train lay In a sidin' through the day, Where the 'eat would make your bloomin' eyebrows crawl, We shouted "Harry By!" Till our throats were bricky-dry, Then we wopped 'im 'cause 'e couldn't serve us all. It was "Din!

You squidgy-nosed old idol, Gunga Di. The uniform ’e wore. Was nothin’ much before, An’ rather less than ’arf o’ that be’ind, For a piece o’ twisty rag. An’ a goatskin water-bag. Was all the field-equipment ’e could find. Where the ’eat would make your bloomin’ eyebrows crawl, We shouted ‘Harry By!’ Till our throats were bricky-dry, Then we wopped ’im ’cause ’e couldn’t serve us all. It was ‘Din! Din! Din! ‘You ’eathen, where the mischief ’ave you been?

with its rainbow o'er us all. AN Old Sweetheart of Mine! - Is this her presence here with me, Or but a vain creation of. a lover's memory? - A fair, illusive vision. that would vanish into air Dared I even touch the silence with the whisper of a prayer? An old sweetheart of mine. NAY, let me then believe in ail the blended false and true - The semblance of the old love. and the substance of the new, - The then of changeless sunny days-. the now of shower and shine - But Love forever smiling - as that old sweetheart of mine. An old sweetheart of mine. THIS ever-restful sense of home^.

An old sweetheart of mine! - Is this her presence here with me, Or but a vain creation of a lover's memory? . But Love forever smiling - as that old sweetheart of mine. This ever restful sense of home though shouts ring in the hall, - The easy chair - the old book-shelves and prints along the wall; The rare Habanas in their box, or gaunt churchwarden-stem. That often wags, above the jar, derisively at them. As one who cons at evening o'er an album, all alone, And muses on the faces of the friends that he has known, So I turn the leaves of Fancy, till, in a shadowy design, I find the smiling features of an old sweetheart of mine.
