John G. Scoville Notes, 23 January 1864
Scottsborough Ala Jan 23..64
Solitude or Sadness
1
I wandered by a silver stream
Whare sweetest flours springing
Whare lovely birds with notes serene
And all nature seamed so shineing
2
But then i looked within my heart
Something there to to be nurished
And Oh what a bleeding smart
Twas hard to make it flourish
3
But all nature seamed refrishing
And its plants so rare and gay
Tis and air with health posesing
Seamed to drive all fears away
