James Thomas Fields quotes

Oh, to be home again, home again, home again!
Under the apple-boughs, down by the mill! (James Thomas Fields)

Rally round the flag, boys- Give it to the breeze! That's the banner that we bore On the land and seas. Brave hearts are under it, Let the traitors brag, Gallant lads, fire away! And fight for the flag. Their flag is but a rag- Ours is the true one; Up with the Stars and Stripes! with the new one! Let our colors fly, boys- Guard them day and night; For victory is liberty, And God will bless the right.

James Thomas Fields

A farmer travelling with his load Picked up a horseshoe on the road, And nailed if fast to his barn door, That luck might down upon him pour; That every blessing known in life Might crown his homestead and his wife, And never any kind of harm Descend upon his growing farm.
