Heartsease
Yander Mis' Pansy,

She stay right to home
en keep huh house in order;
She's allers please ter hab you stop
en pass de time o' day,
En mek you feel you's mighty glad
you come along dat way.
She ain' one fo' runnin' 'roun'
dis-away or dat;
She seem ter say,—"Now, do set down
an' res' yo' hat!"
