“ Mit dot long-handled dipper, dot hangs py der sink.
rHow schveet vrom der green mossy brim to
receive it"—
Dot vould soundt pooty goot—eef it only vas true—
Der vater schbills ofer, you petter pelieve it! Und runs down your schleeve, und schlep*
indo your shoe. Dhen down on your nose comes dot oldt iron
handle,
Und makes your eyes vater so gvick as a vink. I dells you dot bookit it don'd hold a candle To dot long-handled dipper, dot hangs py der sink. ”
