  1. To My Old Hat (continued)

    (continued from previous page)
    Now let me see how long ago
    By jingo, its a year.
    Still can'st thou brave a stormy gale
    A fall of snow, of rain, or hail,
    That ought to be enough.
    It grieves my heart into the core
    To think I cannot wear thee more
    That Fate on thee is rough
    To part with thee, to bid adieu
    For one, whose shape is neat and new,
    Would, faith, my feelings hurt,
    I knew thee without blame or spot,
    I see thee now, but know thee not
    Thou are not what thou wert."
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
