Ny little wife has two merry black eyes,

And bland he kind creature for causing them pain.

And some thought her witty,
But Of sound sense she was faultess and reeI
Because the fair scOhier
RefnSd every offer,
And secretly cherishd affection for me.

They wood night and morning; go

While others sleeping,
on hopelessy cherished affection for me.
My little wife wsekl- to the church came,
Sweet little, dear little, msllou-Voleed Jane,
Where l. Allied with equal devotional aame,
Would glance at her fair face again and again.
