Lyrics of Love and Laughter

Of de stuff dat's fallin'
'Roun an' white an' damp,
'Dout some one-a-callin',
"Come in hyeah, you scamp!"


DINAH KNEADING DOUGH.

I HAVE seen full many a sight
Born of day or drawn by night:
Sunlight on silver stream,
Golden lilies all a-dream,
Lofty mountains, bold and proud,
Veiled beneath the lacelike cloud;
But no lovely sight I know
Equals Dinah kneading dough.

Brown arms buried elbow-deep
Their domestic rhythm keep,
As with steady sweep they go
Through the gently yielding dough.
