First one I think of (First verse):

Backward, turn backward, O Time in thy flight
Make me a child again just for tonight.
Mother, come back from the echoless shore-
Take me again to your heart as of yore.
Kiss from my forehead the furrows of care,
Smooth the few silver threads out of my hair-
Over my slumbers your loving watch keep,
Rock me to sleep, Mother, rock me to sleep...

And then there's the timeless poem. A man passes his old schoolhouse:

Still stands the schoolhouse by the road,
A ragged begger sleeping;
Around the door the ivy grows   (not sure about this line)
And blackberry vines are creeping.
(Next,in his memory a little friend is speaking, a girl):

I'm sorry that I spelt the word,
I hate to go above you
Because- the brown eyes lower fell,
Because, you see, I love you.

Sad memory for the greyhaired man,
Her sweet child-grace bestowing (not quite right)
Dear girl, the grasses on her grave
Have forty years been growing.
He lives to learn, who lingers here,
That the few who go above him
Lament their triumph, and his loss,
Like her, because they love him.

Old poems and songs like thia don't now have widespread popularity. But for us who lived in those days- went to a one-room country school, they bring a tear and many a memory- and take us back to a time when "acts of kindness" were not so random.....
