But she didn't have a curl,

Though she had an Easter-bonnet

With ostrich plumes and flowers on it,

Since like her mother she aspired

A la mode to be attired.

But when she rose on Easter morn

With deepest grief her heart was torn,

For oh, alas! the rain was falling

In torrents great; to her appalling,

As well she knew 'twould spoil her bonnet
