Can you put the corn-silk back on the corn, or the down on the catkins—say?

You think that my questions are trifling, dear? Let me ask you another one:

Can a hasty word ever be unsaid, or a deed unkind, undone?

e lived in the Cumberland Valley,

And his name was Jamie Brown;

But it changed one day, so the neighbors say,

To the "Bravest Boy in Town."
