...ll o'm said 
 A standing by the durn. 
I wonder what they say o's now, 
And if they know my lot; and how 
She feels who milks my favourite cow, 
 And takes my place at churn!

It wears me out to think of it, 
 To think of it; 
I cannot bear my fate as writ, 
 I'd have my life unbe;

When he drives out our little old wobble-ly calf;
An' nen -- ef our hired girl says he can --
