Was it little Bo-Peep with her shepherd
ess crook,
Or was it the spirit of the old white
horse,
Who has been long laid beneath the
moss?
Who tackled this motto near the door?
This notice we fear will be used no more.
Who draped the door plate in mourning
clothes?
You'll surely find out that nobody
knows"
Patrons tread lightly where you pass
this door,
For the separator is hushed now anu
evermore.
The churn which has whirred for many
day
Stands idle and useless forever and aye.
Who stopped one night when all was
When graveyards yawn and pug dogs
bark?
Twas on a night when the moon was
dim
This door was draped in garb SO grim.
Nobody knows.
