Song
Wintah, summah, snow er shine,Hit’s all de same to me,Ef only I kin call you mine,An’ keep you by my knee.
Ha’dship, frolic, grief er caih,Content by night an’ day,Ef only I kin see you whaihYou wait beside de way.
Livin’, dyin’, smiles er teahs,My soul will still be free,Ef only thoo de comin’ yeahsYou walk de worl’ wid me.
Bird-song, breeze-wail, chune er moan,What puny t’ings dey ‘ll be,Ef w’en I ‘s seemin’ all erlone,I knows yo’ hea’t ‘s wid me.
