DRIVE THE NAIL STRAIGHT
A POEM BY E.C. EVERETT
DRIVE THE NAIL STRAIGHT, BOYS,
HIT IT ON THE HEAD,
STRIKE WITH ALL YOUR MIGHT, BOYS,
WHILE THE IRON IS RED.
WHEN YOU'VE WORK TO DO, BOYS,
DO IT WITH A WILL,
THEY WHO REACH THE TOP, BOYS,
FIRST MUST CLIMB THE HILL.
THO' YOU STUMBLE OFT', BOYS,
NEVER BE DOWN CAST,
TRY AND TRY AGAIN, BOYS,
YOU'LL SUCCEED AT LAST.

PRECIOUS MINUTES
A POEM BY E.C. EVERETT
JUST A FEW MINUTES OR JUST A FEW HOURS
WHAT DO THEY MEAN IN THIS LIFE OF OURS?
NOT VERY MUCH IF COUNTED AS TIME
BUT MINUTES OF BLISS AND HOURS SUBLIME.
IF ONLY WE'D USE THEM ONCE IN AWHILE,
TO MAKE SOMEONE HAPPY, TO MAKE SOMEONE SMILE.
A FEW MINUTES MAY DRY A LITTLE LAD'S TEARS,
AN HOUR SWEEPS AWAY THE SORROW OF YEARS.
A FEW MINUTES OF MY TIME MAY BRING TO AN END,
HOPELESSNESS SOMEWHERE, AND GAIN ME A FRIEND.

GROWING OLD
A POEM BY E. C. EVERETT
LORD KEEP ME SWEET WHEN I GROW OLD
AND THINGS IN LIFE SEEM HARD TO BEAR,
WHEN I FEEL SAD AND ALL ALONE,
AND PEOPLE DO NOT SEEM TO CARE.
OH KEEP ME SWEET WHEN TIME HAS CAUSED
THIS BODY WHICH WAS ONCE SO STRONG,
TO DROOP BENEATH ITS LOAD OF YEARS,
AND SUFFERING AND PAIN HAS COME.
HELP ME TO TRAIN MY HEART EACH DAY
THAT IT WILL ONLY SWEETNESS HOLD
TO SEE THE GLAD ETERNAL JOYS
YES KEEP ME SWEET AS I GROW OLD.
LOVE NEED NOT END AT 60 YEARS,
THOUGH SOME WERE SPENT IN JOY AND TEARS,
WE LOOK AHEAD TO BRIGHTER DAYS,
NOW THAT WE'VE LEARNED TO MEND OUR WAYS.
