'How did you rest, last night?'-- br I've heard my gran'pap say br Them words a thousand times--that's right-- br Jes them words thataway! br As punctchul-like as morning dast br To ever heave in sight br Gran'pap 'ud allus haf to ast-- br 'How did you rest, last night?' br br Us young-uns used to grin, br At breakfast, on the sly, br And mock the wobble of his chin br And eyebrows belt so high br And kind: 'How did you rest, last night?' br We'd mumble and let on br Our voices trimbled, and our sight br Was dim, and hearin' gone.
