Her bang grew limp beneath its net,

Her brow was gemmed with beaded sweat,

And to her bed she went, you bet.

ANON.


IN THE OL' TOBACKER PATCH.

I jess kind o' feel so lonesome that I don't know what to do,

When I think about them days we used to spend

A hoein' out tobacker in th' clearin'—me an' you—

An' a wishin' that the day was at an end.
