Dodge, Mary Mapes, 1830-1905 · [New York : Scribner & Co.] · leaf 538
xtracts a lugubrious toneThat is something between a wild shriek and a groan,But it soon dies away in the mournfullest moan. Milly s the singer, and worst of them all;Her voice is a yell that ends in a bawl.The cats for a mile will answer the callAnd hasten to join in a general squall.
