James Whitcomb Riley - Sister Jones`s ConfessionJames Whitcomb Riley - Sister Jones`s Confession
Work rating: Low


I thought the deacon liked me, yit   I warn`t adzackly shore of it--   Fer, mind ye, time and time agin,   When jiners `ud be comin` in,   I`d seed him shakin` hands as free   With all the sistern as with me!   But jurin` last Revival, where   He called on _me_ to lead in prayer,   An` kneeled there with me, side by side,   A-whisper`n` "he felt sanctified   Jes` tetchin of my gyarment`s hem,"--   That settled things as fur as them-   Thare other wimmin was concerned!--   And--well!--I know I must a-turned   A dozen colors!--_Flurried_?--_la_!--   No mortal sinner never saw   A gladder widder than the one   A-kneelin` there and wonderun`   Who`d pray`--So glad, upon my word,   I railly could n`t thank the Lord!
