To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I was almost froze with skeer; But we rousted up some torches, And sarched for 'cm far and near.
At last we struck hosses and wagon.
Snowed under a soft white mound, i6 Upsot, dead beat, — but of little Gabe No hide nor hair was found.
And here all hope soured on me, Of my fellow-critter's aid, — I jest flopped down on my marrow-bones.
Crotch-deep in the snow, and prayed.
By this, the torches was played out.
And me and Isrul Parr Went of? for some wood to a sheepfold That he said was somewhar t...hat.
We found it at last, and a little shed Where they shut up the lambs at night.
17 THE PIKE COUNTY BALLADS We looked in and seen them huddled thar, So warm and sleepy and white; And thar sot Little Breeches and chirped, As peart as ever you see, "I want a chaw of ter backer, And that's what's the matter of me." How did he git thar? Angels.
He could never have walked in that storm.
They jest scooped down and toted him To whar it was safe and warm.
And I think that saving a little child, And fotching him to his own.
