Dodge, Mary Mapes, 1830-1905 · [New York : Scribner & Co.] · leaf 558
TO-DAV HIS CORN MUST BE PLANTED. Dont speak to him,—proud young fannerHalf lost in his big straw hat; If you dare to suggest an errand,Not a minute has he for that! Ten minutes, and Where is my hammcAnd nails ?—drate big uns, he calls. Lo ! his garden is turned to a cellar,And now he must put up… … What, you, my brave young farmer?Oh no, Im a builder now.I build big barns and houses; Come out and Ill show you how. Soon, starting, he hears the oxenDragging the big hay-cart; And, houses and barns forgotten,Away he flees like a dart.
