'bout leabin' folks a-nappin',—
"Howdy!" he say, ""Please, ma'am, look out.
Dey's sumpin happenin' all erbout."

An', honey, hit's des lak I say,

Things moves whar nobuddy caint see,
inside dat Weepin'-Willier tree.
Things talks whar nobuddy caint heah,—
a pusson dassent go too neah . . .
Den, easylike, one mo'nin bright,

All in er night
De Spring done come!—

"We-all is heah ter spen' de day.
