Yawcob Strauss and Other Poems/Mine Vamily

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.
