One Misty Morning


There was a poem titled "One Misty Morning" for children - that I remembered when i clicked this photo.Here it is -


One misty moisty morning when cloudy was the weather


I met with an old man a-clothed all in leather


He was clothed all in leather with a cap beneath his chin


Singing how do you do and how do you do and how do you do again
This rustic was a thresher as on his way he hied


And with a leather bottle fast buckled by his side


He wore no shirt upon his back but wool unto his skin


Singing how do you do and how do you do and how do you do again
I went a little further and there I met a maid


A-going a-milking, a-milking Sir she said


Then I began to compliment and she began to sing


Saying how do you do and how do you do and how do you do again
This maid her name was Dolly clothed in a gown of grey


I being somewhat jolly persuaded her to stay


And straight I fell a-courting her in hopes her love to win


Singing how do you do and how do you do and how do you do again
I having time and leisure, I spent a vacant hour


A-telling of my treasure while sitting in the bower


With many kind embraces I stroke her double chin


Singing how do you do and how do you do and how do you do again
I said that I would married be and she would be my bride


And long we should not tarry and twenty things beside


I'll plough and sow and reap and mow and you shall sit and spin


Singing how do you do and how do you do and how do you do again
Her parents then consented, all parties were agreed


Her portion thirty shillings, we married were with speed


Then Will the piper he did play whilst others dance and sing


Saying how do you do and how do you do and how do you do again
Then lusty Ralph and Robin with many damsels gay


Did ride on Roan and Dobbin to celebrate the day


And when they met together their caps they off did fling


Singing how do you do and how do you do and how do you do


And how do you do again
