come back

.

              no
  'tweren't the shadow
'twere her flesh through
         that yellow
             frock
 dang wind press'n hern
            whilst
          thuh sun
     color'd her flesh
        through her
       cotton drape
     fill'n mine eyne
            with
            new
            think
az she scurry'd through
        the daisiez 

 hide'n ourn licentious 
        hern lope'd
            home
