I wondered, could it be Hirams,
But folks dont rob graveyards hereabouts.
Besides, Hirams hands warnt that awful, starin white.
I give up seein people,
I was afeared Id say somethin.
You know what folks thought o me
Bettern I do, I dessay,
But mebbe now youll see I couldnt do nothin diffrent.
But I stuck it out,
I warnt goin to be downed
By no loose hand, no matter how it come ther
But that aint the worst, Mis Priest,
Not by a long ways.
Two year ago, Mr. Densmore made me an offer for Cherrys Orchard.
Well, Id got used to th thought o bein sort o blighted,
An I warnt scared no more.
Lived down my fear, I guess.
Id kinder got used to th thought o that awful night,
And I didnt mope much about it.
Only I never went out o doors by moonlight;
That stuck.
Well, when Mr. Densmores offer come,
I started thinkinbout the place
An all the things that had gone on ther.
Thinks I, I guess Ill go and see where I put the hand.
I was foolhardy with the long time that had gone by.
