Let me see if I can find them on line to link you to them. They are sad in a way. One is very funny. It is about a bear hunt. Lincoln was a deep thinker and suffered from melancholy. These poems were written in 1844 while he was campaigning for Henry Clay. His display of emotion regarding his childhood is rather touching. I bought this little book in 1991, so I have read these poems many times. They are part of my Lincoln birthday celebration every year. I read them out loud. The birds seemed to like them.<BR/>Let me see what I can find for you. <BR/>Yes, it is very nice to have treasures from my parents. They were savers so their house was full of items. I have tried to use their treasures as part of my monthly decorations. When it works out I am always pleased. <BR/>Stay warm,<BR/>SherryQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02473455565144414399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27765182.post-38003666012737507512008-02-12T14:01:00.000-06:002008-02-12T14:01:00.000-06:00Hi Q, It is alternating snow and sleet here today....Hi Q, It is alternating snow and sleet here today. I didn't get to the post. <BR/><BR/>What a treasure having some of your Father's stamps to escort you down memory lane. <BR/><BR/>Today is Mr Lincoln's birthday. I would love to read his poems. I have heard some about them but have not ever read any of them. <BR/><BR/>Do you like any of his poetry?Lisa at Greenbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743973292900758183noreply@blogger.com
