The "docs" at the city hospital,

They tuk his hod y away;
I seed him lying like a gal,
While his poor hands bandaged lay
I don't lay it up agin 'em,
His dad and numn, you kneow;

Watch Thyself.
It needs only a sincere mind,
To read the thoughts of men;
Even tho' one were stricken blind,
He'd have the knowledge then.
A closer watch upon ourselves,
'Twere well to keep each day;
Lest some in form of fairy elves,
Should lead us to betray.
