Dark, dark de night, and wus de moon.
No star but one am peeping;
De hoot-owl sings the same ole toon,
As troo the woods I'm creeping.
"Bco-booI boo bool"-who car for dat,
You good for nott'in feddered cat?
Dis nigger keep on singing;
He sing, and on the banjo play,
To charm the goblum ghosts away,
While skunk he sweets am fiinging.
Troo the woods-push along,
"Neber fear the boog-a-boo;'
Troo the woods-dat's the song.
Gallus son of Ginger Blue!
De whip-um-will, squat on de stone,
T'rows music from his fiddle;
De dancing frogs all sq',dsh-a down
Outside and up de middle:
What dat? what dat dis nigger's eyes
Displore wild mighty big surprise,
Upon the gum tree swing?
IT am massa possum at he ease,
Rocked in de cradle of de breeze,
And listening to de singing.
Troo the woods-push along,
Nebber mind de possum too;
Troo the woods, dat's de song,
Fearless son of Ginger Bluel
DE mocn's gwoine down-pitch dark the night,
Cold, cold de dew am falling;
fear dis darkey see a sight,
Dat set he wool crawling;
Who dar? who dar "a goblum cuss,dl

Thou hast left mo, my beautiful, idozed child,

Oh! Thomas. my darling, loved thee too well.
So good and so true, so generous and kind,
None knew thee, but loved thee so we'll;

In the bosom of man could not dwell.
AT earliest dawn. with heart happy and light
To thy post thou dIdst hasten away:
But ore the day CLOSED IN the darkness of night

Jaw thee, when in thy coffin laid,

Around th' dear month sweet smile played,
"hloh told mo that peace there.

And heard the damp cart fall,
With mOurhful sound u 5on thy cold breast
That breast 80 true and kind to all.
Thomas, my loved son, thou hast left me alone.
In TINS world, have none to care for me now
through lie I'VE but sorrow and suffering known,
But, Lord 20 thy will III submission bow.
Thy kind loving wife, and dear little BOYS,
Mss thee, and mourn As their hearts wOuld break:
w Iih thee departed all their hopes and lows
In lie their cares were but for thy sake.
