- Gather leaves and grasses,
Love, to-day;
For the Autumn passes
Soon away.
Chilling winds are blowing.
It will soon be snowing.- Gather Leaves and Grasses, reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919).
- Ah, we fondly cherish
Faded things
That had better perish.
Memory clings
To each leaf it saves.
Chilly winds are blowing.
It will soon be snowing
On our graves.- Gather Leaves and Grasses, reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919).
- "I love you because
You're a sweet little fool!"- The sweet little Fool (The Sequel), reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919).
