If I'd a million millions	A
Just think a million millions	A
What wouldn't I do what couldn't I do	B
If I'd a million millions	A
From every forest's finest tree	C
My many gabled house should be	C
With silver threads from golden looms	D
Should be attired my palace rooms	D
My blossomed table have the best	E
Of all the East and all the West	E
My bed should be a daintier thing	F
Than ever sheltered queen or king	F
What wouldn't I do	B
What couldn't I do	B
If I'd a million millions	A
	-
If I'd a million millions	A
A good square million millions	A
With gratefulness my friends should bless	G
Me and my million millions	A
None that had e'er befriended me	C
But he a millionaire should be	C
Who kindly words of me had told	H
Should find their silver turned to gold	H
And he who did but just advance	I
The sunbeam of a friendly glance	I
In my affliction's cloudy day	J
Should have rich unexpected pay	J
What wouldn't I do	B
What couldn't I do	B
If I'd a million millions	A
	-
If I'd a million millions	A
Just think a million millions	A
How many coals on hostile souls	K
I'd heap with all my millions	A
No enemy that earned my hate	L
Should for a fiery guerdon wait	L
With roses sweet I'd twine him o'er	M
Until the thorns should prick him sore	N
How much of credit may be claimed	O
For sweetly making foes ashamed	O
I do not know it may depend	P
On how much true love we extend	P
But love outpoured	P
I could afford	P
If I'd a million millions	A
	-
An honest million millions	A
Just think a million millions	A
The poor should bless the strange success	G
That gave me all those millions	A
I'd slaughter every hungry wight	P
Within the circle of my sight	P
And resurrect him with such food	P
As should go far to make him good	P
No poor house but must bow its head	P
And gaze at cottage walls instead	P
And hungry paupers soon should see	C
A year of genuine jubilee	C
Nought should alloy	Q
Their perfect joy	Q
That could be saved by millions	A
	-
Just think a million millions	A
The care of all those millions	A
And after all what would befall	R
A life with all those millions	A
Would not the lucre clog my brain	S
And make me hard and cold and vain	S
Might not my treasure win my heart	P
And make me loath with it to part	P
How could I tell by mortal sign	T
Betwixt my money's friends and mine	T
And then the greed and strife and curse	U
The world brings round a princely purse	U
Perhaps my soul	V
Upon the whole	V
Is best without the millions	A

From Arthur Selwyn's Note book	W
	-
Now comes the Christmas tide	P
Love wakes on every side	P
Mirth smiles from every eye	X
Wreaths greet the passer by	X
	-
Who full of haughty pride	P
Loves not the Christmas tide	P
He who with av'rice low	Y
Cares not to joy bestow	Y
	-
God save the wretch denied	P
Love for the Christmas tide	P
God tell his hardened heart	P
Pure joy must joy impart	P
	-
Who close to grief allied	P
Grieves 'mid the Christmas tide	P
She who at Sorrow's call	R
Now mourns the loss of all	R
	-
God save the dear bereft	P
Teach her the mercies left	P
Show her that clouds may yet	P
Lift ere her sun be set	P
	-
	-
	-
Who lonely must abide	P
All through the Christmas tide	P
He who has never known	Z
Love passion of his own	Z
	-
So follows he his fate	P
Friendly but desolate	P
So sad his heart must hide	P
All through the Christmas tide	P

DECEMBER	M
	-
Wind in the north east snow in wagon loads	A2
Good sleighing everywhere on all the roads	A2
Family healthy sensible and pleasant	P
And each one got the proper Christmas present	P
	-
At least it seems so for they all act suited	P
And Santa Claus's taste hasn't been disputed	P
Our family room is filled with tasty mixings	A2
Of evergreens and other woman fixings	A2
The open grate makes things look rich and mellow	Y
With good hard coals the fire has painted yellow	Y
Pictures peep from the walls with thought all through them	B2
That set me studying every time I view them	B2
There's certain books upon the centre table	C2
That say what I'd have said if I'd been able	C2
And measuring up this room with honest style	D2
'Tisn't a bad place to be in for a while	D2
	-
And so I sit here thinking musing dreaming	F
About the world and all its curious scheming	F
And full of certainty begotten doubt	P
Wondering what this life is all about	P
From all that I can learn I'm not to blame	E2
For wiser men have often done the same	E2
	-
We went a mile or two last night to see	A2
The decorations on a Christmas tree	A2
I spied hung on that sapling's gilded arms	A2
Things that would buy a couple good sized farms	A2
And just upon our way home I should guess	A2
We met some fifty people more or less	A2
Who needed to make passable their days	A2
A decent share of what those farms would raise	A2
	-
But here's the question should those ill to do	P
Deprive rich people of their comforts too	P
Because there are some people lack for bread	P
Must others' minds and fancies go unfed	P
It's quite a puzzle which I don't know whether	M
My clumsy mind knows how to put together	M
	-
But one thing's sure wants satisfied wants breed	P
The more folks get the more they seem to need	P
Then one man lives on what would starve another	M
And what is joy for you might kill your brother	M
	-
Although to me it doesn't contain the charm	F2
Of our old wide log fire place on the farm	F2
	-

JANUARY	A2
	-
Went to a skating rink a little while	D2
To see them slide in the new fangled style	D2
And strange enough this eve a letter came	E2
From a friend Abdiel Stebbins is his name	E2
A cousin of my aunt Sophia Dean	G2
A wise old man but clumsy like and green	G2
He's on a visit in a neighboring city	A2
And he has been a skating more's the pity	A2
He tells it in a manner quite sincere	H2
I think perhaps I'll paste it right in here	I2
