For there’s not a soul here yet to see.

There! Sue Delaplaine’s pew is empty—

I declare if it isn’t too bad!

I knew my suit cost more than her’s did,

And I wanted to see her look mad.

I do think that sexton’s too stupid—

He’s put some one else in our pew—

And the girl’s dress just kills mine completely;

Now what am I going to do?

The psalter, and Sue isn’t here yet!
