< Yawcob Strauss and Other Poems

MINE VAMILY.

Dimbled scheeks, mit eyes off plue,
Mout' like id vas moisd mit dew,
Und leedle teeth shust peekin' droo-
Dot's der baby.
Curly head, und full off glee,
Browsers all oudt at der knee—
He vas peen blaying horse, you see—
Dot's leedle Yawcob.
Von hundord-seexty in der shade,
Der oder day vhen she vas veighed-
She beats me soon, I vas avraid—
Dot's mine Katrina.
Barefooted head, und pooty stoudt,
Mit grooked legs dot vill bend oudt,
Fond off his bier und sauer-kraut—
Dot's me himself.
Von schmall young baby, full off fun,
Von leedle prite-eyed, roguish son,
Von frau to greet vhen vork vas done—
Dot's mine vamily.
