He began to bark,
And she began to cry,
“Goodness mercy on me,
’Tis surely not I!”

The dog ceased to bark,
The woman then did cry;
“Goodness mercy on me,
Now I know this is I!”

LOVE BETWEEN BROTHERS AND SISTERS

1.

What-ev-er brawls dis-turb the street,
There should be peace at home:
Where sis-ters dwell, and bro-thers meet
Quar-rels should nev-er come.
