SALLIE M.
I knew a lass, but quite too long
Was her whole name to weave in song,
But, lest a change she should condemn,
We'll only call her Sarah M.
Now, from her youth, this damsel's mind
Was most industriously inclined;
No little girl could sew, or hem,
Or stitch, or mend, like Sarah M.
Her father had not wealth to spare,
And many children claimed his care,
So little Sarah early learned,
That her own living must be earned.
Yet no complaining Sallie made,
That she must work while others played,
