Yet I reckon there's somethin' I've missed.

El pobre! Yes, mebbe there's somethin' I've missed,

And it mebbe is more than I've won—

Just a door that's my own, while the cool shadows creep,

And a woman a-singin' my kid to sleep

When I'm tired from the wind and the sun.

Note.—"El pobre," Spanish, "Poor fellow."
