Epigraphs by Nelle Richmond Eberhart (1871–1944):
- See Donald on Dobbin
- Early in the morning while the day is cool
- The shade is cool beneath the tree
- Go donald, ring the dinner-bell
- Hum, hum, hum, At five in the morning the whistle blows
- Among the "happy hills of hay"
- The colts in the pasture are racing. Hurrah!
- In their little white beds the children lie
