PLANTATION MELODIES. 21
For they'd vowed years ago that they ne'er would forget One another through life; so they struck up and sung — Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind 1 Should auld acquaintance be forgot In the days o' auld lang syne ?
A fox leaped out of a thicket and played
With his brush for awhile, in a transport of glee j Then thoughtfully walked to a green forest glade, When he sat himself down, and most sweetly sang he — Oft in the stilly night,
Ere slumber's chains have bound me, Fond memory brings a sight Of nice fat geese around me.
The fox, skunk and 'possum, the owl and the coon, In concert all joined to the tune of " Mool Brooks," The stars cried "encore!" and the bright silver moon Grew brighter and brighter, as they sung without books — We'll not go home till morning, We'll not go home till morning, We'll not go home till morning, Till daylight doth appear. |

De last ob de Cabbages.
'Tis de last ob de cabbages,
Left standin' alone; Every bean-bush and 'tater-vine
Am faded and gone. |
