Thet night, I tell ye, she looked some!

She seemed to’ve gut a new soul,

For she felt sartin-sure he’d come,

Down to her very shoe-sole.

She heered a foot, an’ knowed it, tu,

A-raspin’ on the scraper—

All ways to once her feelin’s flew

Like sparks in burnt-up paper.

He kin’ o’ l’itered on the mat,

Some doubtfle o’ the sekle,
