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 weatherI met with an old man a-clothed all in leatherHe was clothed all in leather with a cap beneath his chinSinging how do you do and how do you do and how do you do againThis rustic was a thresher as on his way he hiedAnd with a leather bottle fast buckled by his sideHe wore no shirt upon his back but wool unto his skinSinging how do you do and how do you do and how do you do againI went a little further and there I met a maidA-going a-milking, a-milking Sir she saidThen I began to compliment and she began to singSaying how do you do and how do you do and how do you do againThis maid her name was Dolly clothed in a gown of greyI being somewhat jolly persuaded her to stayAnd straight I fell a-courting her in hopes her love to winSinging how do you do and how do you do and how do you do againI having time and leisure, I spent a vacant hourA-telling of my treasure while sitting in the bowerWith many kind embraces I stroke her double chinSinging how do you do and how do you do and how do you do againI said that I would married be and she would be my brideAnd long we should not tarry and twenty things besideI'll plough and sow and reap and mow and you shall sit and spinSinging how do you do and how do you do and how do you do againHer parents then consented, all parties were agreedHer portion thirty shillings, we married were with speedThen Will the piper he did play whilst others dance and singSaying how do you do and how do you do and how do you do againThen lusty Ralph and Robin with many damsels gayDid ride on Roan and Dobbin to celebrate the dayAnd when they met together their caps they off did flingSinging how do you do and how do you do and how do you doAnd how do you do again
