Caption: Dewey was the Morning...
Additional Description: A poem by Eugene Fitch Ware appeared on this 1898 patriotic envelope.
O dewey was the morning
Upon the first of May,
And Dewey was the Admiral
Down in Manilla Bay.

And dewey were the Regent's eyes,
Them orbs of royal blue;
And dewey feel discouraged?
I dew not think we dew. -- Eugene F. Ware
