Huldy sot pale ez ashes,

All kin’ o’ smily roun’ the lips

An’ teary roun’ the lashes....

The blood clost roun’ her heart felt glued

Too tight for all expressin’,

Till mother see how metters stood,

An’ gin ’em both her blessin’.

Then her red come back like the tide,

Down to the Bay o’ Fundy,

An’ all I know is they was cried
