Dodge, Mary Mapes, 1830-1905 · [New York : Scribner & Co.] · leaf 558
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. … Please, Hugh, let me be driver; I 11 keep right here by the side. So, whip on his shoulder, he marches With more than a soldiers pride. Now back, calling, Mamma, mamma,Here s a tunnin hop-stool for you ; T was growing close up by the fountain,—Oh dear ! now what shall I do ?
