      CORNISH CATCHES

      AND OTHER VERSES

      1914

      TO MY MOTHER.

      CONTENTS

      WELL, THERE 'TIS

      Well, there 'tis. You wakes up cryin' an' callin',

      You'm cold an' hungered, an' skeered o' the turble dark;

      It feels most like a gert black cloud's a fallin'

      To crunch you to nothin', an' leave you smuttered an' stark.

      But a kind hand comes when the gert black clouds would drownd you,

      An' a warm breast holds you tight to cuddle an' kiss,

      An' you know that the world o' Love be all around you.

      Well! there 'tis.

      Then you grows a bit, and you finds a mort o' pleasure

      In the rush o' the waves an' the roarin' wind in the sky;

      An' you plays your games at Pirates seekin' treasure,

      Or Penny-come-quick when the Breton Boys go by.

      An' you don't much trouble at difrent kinds o' weather,

      If 'tis sunny 'tis sunny, but rain won't make you miss

      The chance to trample away thro' the moorland heather;

      Well! there 'tis.

      But you keeps on growin', an' then you begin in a fashion

      To want some things you'd never a thought on before;

      An' you sees some eyes be blue, an' you gets a passion

      For jest a very perticlar cottage door.

      An' you don't feel tired at the end o' the day o' toilin'

      So long as it ends with the sound an' song of a kiss,

      So long as it ends with arms round you coilin';

      Well! there 'tis.

      Then you grows old, an' at last you falls on sleepin'.

      Do you count you'll be all
