But as I sot there with tears on my cheeks and a smile on my lips—for
I wuzn’t onhappy, not at all, though the tears wuz in my eyes through
thinkin’ of such a number of things—all at once a light low breeze
swept up gently from the south or down from the glowin’ heavens—anyway
it come—and swept lovingly and kind o’ lingeringly, as if with some
old lovin’ memory, over the posies in the door-yard, and sort o’ waved
the sweet bells of the mornin’ glories, and fell on my forehead and
cheek like a soft, consolin’ little hand.
It sort o’ stayed there and caressed me, and brushed my hair back, and
then touched my cheek, and then—wuz gone.
