Additional quotes by Will Carleton

I don't complain of Betsy or any of her acts,
Exceptin' when we 've quarreled and told each other facts.

Not a log in this buildin' but its memories has got
And not a nail in this old floor but touches a tender spot.

There's lots of people—this town wouldn't hold them;
Who don't know much excepting what's told them.
