NOTES [56 words]: This is one of many items Solomon-ZickaryZan'sextracted from the autograph album of Minnie Burton, which she maintained 1891 to 1896 or after. It appears in other autograph albums also. I don't know that Henry's version is from an autograph album, but there are several other autograph album poem that seem to have become traditional. - RBW
