At the door on fine spring evenings,

Played the little Drop o' Wather;

Heard the cry of "Buy my inguns!"

Heard the cry "Young raddyshees, yere"

Calls of cadger, costermonger;

"Bilin'-apples!" said the huckster;

"Pies-all 'ot!" still said the pieman.

Saw the pot-boy, Wall-eyed Tommy,

Trudging through the dusk of evening,

With the shrillness of his whistle
