Stanton's familiar poem of optimism and encouragement![Stanton wrote the lyrics of "Just Awearyin' for You" and Carrie Jacobs-Bond the music.[17] In the first edition's frontispiece, credit to Stanton is missing. He was often remiss in protecting his work, and only after publication did Jacobs-Bond become aware of Stanton's authorship of what had been printed as an anonymous poem by a Chicago newspaper.[18] Stanton's name was added to the score, and Jacobs-Bond amicably began paying him a revenue stream which became his most lucrative source of royalties.[19]](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9e/Jacobs-Bond_JUST_AWEARYIN%27_FOR_YOU_cover.jpg/1280px-Jacobs-Bond_JUST_AWEARYIN%27_FOR_YOU_cover.jpg)

Multi-voice-ranges 1901 cover of Ethelbert Nevin's tune for "Mighty Lak' a Rose" for which Stanton wrote the lyrics. The dialect title means (approximately) "very much like a rose" and is supposedly sung by a mother to her young son. The first line, by which the opus is occasionally known, is "Sweetest li'l feller" (sweetest little fellow).Musicians from United States 6
