From the Greensboro' [N. C.] Patriot.
"I'LL SEE YOU IN THE MORNING."
What is it smites the wretch's ear,
Like notes of solemn warning,
While pleading at the miser's gate?—
"I'll see you in the morning"
The youth compell'd to wander from
The hut that he was born in,
From man oft meets the cold response,
"I'll see you in the mornin'."
Depending on some friend to save
You from the cold world's scorning
When troubles come,—he coolly turns—
"I'll see you in the morning"
The cashless loafer strolls around.
And turns to take a horn in
The grocery;—drinks, and bows, and grins—
"I'll see you in the mornin'."
And yonder stands the vain coquette,
Her person fair adorning;
She courtesies to her silly swain—
"I'll see you in the morning!"
The man you owe "that trifle" to
Just stop to give you warning;
You twist and turn, and stammer out,
"I'll see you in the morning!"
"I'LL SEE YOU IN THE MORNING."
