Honeysuckle

Yo'ng Mis' Honeysuckle
runnin' all erbout,
Ef you stop by ter see'er
you'll shorely fine huh out.
Up en down de lane she go,
en ober fences, too,—
'Pears lak Mis' Honeysuckle
ain' enough ter do!
But sweet? . . . Ume . . . Ume!
Dat sweet she mek you smile
Des lak you was a-watchin'
de playfulles' chile.
When de win' blow thoo de garden
so sweet am dat air,
I know 'thout a-lookin'
Mis' Honeysuckle's dere.
