English poem
Vi
by John Stephen Farmer (1854–1916)
When sitting with Nancy, what sights have I seen! How white was the turnep, the col'wart how green! What a lovely appearance, while under the shade, The carrot, the parsnip, the cauliflow'r made! But now she mills doll, tho' the greens are still there, They none of 'em half so delightful appear: It was not the board that was nail'd to the wall, Made so many customers visit our stall.
