“ Ve lofes dhem more as neffer vas, Each leedle curly head, Und efry nighdt ve takes dhem oup Und tucks dhem in dheir ped. Budt dhen, somedimes, vhen I feels plue, Und all dings lonesome seem, I vish I vas dot poy again, Und dis vas all a dhream. I vant to kiss mine moder vonce, Und vhen mine brayer vas said, To haf mine fader dake me oup Und tuck me in mine ped. ”
