Ah, how I love to tease thee!

I’d never wed thee, Cossack,

Because thou dost not please me!”

SONG OF THE DANCE

(This is sung to a tune almost identical with “The Little Brown Jug”)

The rain is falling, falling fast,

So swift it rushes down apace,

“Shush-shush,” it sounds in channel’s race.

“Who’s going to take me home to-night?”
