Poem written by Barbara Hylton, for Lorenzo Dow Hylton.
First
When I received your likeness
I was overfilled with joy
I looked upon your smiling face
And laid it in the drawer
2nd
I often look upon it
And shed a many tear
And think of you my husband
The one I love so dear
3rd
I show it to the children
And ask them who is that
They will look a while at it and laugh
And say I know its pap
4th
And then they will say o mother
Cant you turn it rong side out
Turn up the pretty little box
And let poor pap come out
