The Wedding Morning Annotated

&nbsp Tabitha dressed for her wedding:-
&nbsp “Tabby, why look so sad?”
“ - O I feel a great gloominess spreading, spreading,
&nbsp Instead of supremely glad! . . .

&nbsp “I called on Carry last night,
&nbsp And he came whilst I was there,
Not knowing I’d called. So I kept out of sight,
&nbsp And I heard what he said to her:

&nbsp “‘ - Ah, I’d far liefer marry
&nbsp You, Dear, to-morrow!’ he said,
‘But that cannot be.’ - O I’d give him to Carry,
&nbsp And willingly see them wed,

&nbsp “But how can I do it when
&nbsp His baby will soon be born?
After that I hope I may die. And then
&nbsp She can have him. I shall not mourn!’
