When I arrived she greeted me before she did see,

What was under the seat in the buggy with me.

When I pulled it out I plainly saw

A cloud come over her as she stood in awe.

She did not at that time speak her full mind

But in memory lingering now I find

She said to herself something or other

To the effect that my father and mother,

Who were her sister, and in law her brother,

Didn’t have the same care for their child,
