Excerpt from The California Mail Bag, Vol. 3: January-February, 1873
With a wedding-ring on the small soft hand The little boot, 'twas unfinished still; Which clung so close to me. The tangled skein lay near; But the knitter had gone away to My wife - God bless her i The day before, With the babe asleep on her quiet She sat beside my foot; Down in the churchyard drear.
