Once, when I licked a feller 'at had just moved on our street, An' father sent me up to bed without a bite to eat, I woke up in the dark an' saw things standin' in a row, A lookin' at me cross eyed an' p'intin' at me  so! Oh, my! ONCE WHEN I LOOKED A FELLER AND HAD JUST MOVED ON OUR STREET AND FATHER SENT ME UP TO BED WITHOUT A BITE TO EAT I WOKE UP IN THE DARK AND SAW THINGS STANDIN IN A ROW A LOOKIN AT ME CROSS EYED AND PITTIN AT ME SO OH MY
 When his feet are chill and numb, When his cross is burdensome, And his heart is sore: Would that he could hear once more The gentle voice he used to hear-- Divine with mother love and cheer-- Calling from yonder spirit shore: "All, all alone!" SEEIN' THINGS I ain't afeard uv snakes, or toads, or bugs, or worms, or mice, An' things 'at girls are skeered uv I think are awful nice! I'm pretty brave, I guess; an' yet I hate to go to bed, For, when I'm tucked up warm an' snug an' when my prayers are said, Mother tells me "Happy dreams!" and takes away the light, An' leaves me lyin' all alone an' seein' things at night! Sometimes they're in the corner, sometimes they're by the door, Sometimes they're all a-standin' in the middle uv the floor; Sometimes they are a-sittin' down, sometimes they're walkin' round So softly an' so creepylike they never make a sound! Sometimes they are as black as ink, an' other times they're white-- But the color ain't no difference when you see things at night!
