Old Aunt Picnic was the colored
cook in a Boston family. Her husband
was cook on boat. and sometimes he
was away from Picnic for many
months. At one time. when he had
been away seven or eight months,
Aunt Picnic, who could neither read
nor write, asked her mistress to write
q letter to her husband.
"Now. what do you want me to
write. Phenie?" said the mistress.
Phenie's eyes had a dangerous light

And washed my lines away.

And yet with him who counts the sands
And holds the waters in his hands
