No. 7 Lover's Lane

No. 7 LOVER'S lANE, SAINT JO. by EUGENE FIELD.

Ah! Sweet the hours of springtime,

       When the heart inclines to woo,

And it's deemed all right for the gallow wight

       To do what he wants to do.

This is a sweet, but odd, vintage card with a funny little poem.  There is no other additional information on the card.  What to you make of the sweet verse?

Happy Birthday, Dear Friend!

Happy New Year!

Get out of bed, you sleepy-head

I think it's nearly time;

You went to sleep in Nineteen Nine

And woke in Nineteen ten!

Poppy

A colorful Poppy greeting...with a melancholy message.



POPPPY - Consolation
"As full blown poppies, overcharged with rain,
Decline the head, and drooping, kiss the plains,
So sinks the youth."

 

Birthday Gladness

Big Black Rooster & Little Brown Hen

A saucy little poem...

Says the Big Black Rooster to the lIttle Brown Hen,
"You Haven't Laid and Egg Since the Lord Knows When."
Says the Little Brown Hen to the Big Black Rooster
"You Don't Come Around as Oftern as You 'Us'd ter.'"

Not quite like one of Mother Goose's poems.  Watch out for that flirty hen on this charming illustration.
