And then I think o mother, And how she ust to love em—When the)- wuznt any other, Less she found em up above em!And her eyes, afore she shut em, Whispered with a smile and said We must pick a bunch and putt em In her hand when she wuz dead. But, as I wuz a-sayin, Thev aint no style about em\ery gaudy cr display-in. But I wouldnt be without em,—Cause Tm hapijier in these posies, yd the hollyhawks and sich,Than the hummin-bird at nosesIn the roses of the rich. 114.
