Why did Albert Schirding kill himself / Trying to be County Superintendent of Schools, / Blest as he was with the means of life / And wonderful children, bringing him honor / Ere he was sixty?
If even one of my boys could have run a news-stand, / Or one of my girls could have married a decent man, / I should not have walked in the rain / And jumped into bed with clothes all wet, / Refusing medical aid.
