he shook the sheet o' cotton, torn beyond repair and aired the slept-in bed home and nighttime lair shooed out the air that's rotten privy to his despair and laid the warm bedspread attenuate, threadbare
he puffed up the pillow must put on braver face and laid it down with care straightening out the lace opened up the window looking up to space and let in cleaner air with hope for Divine Grace
thus ushered in the new day his heart in hope and prayer of new earth, and sunshine ray with beat of love-affair as yesterday's forgotten, his hands carving out the air as comes a new born day. as comes the L-rd of care.
