Song of Eva in Uncle Tom's Cabin Written and composed by Thomas Comer. Boston: G. P. Reed and Co., 1852. By Miss Undine Ellen Weston] Our homestead is surely the sweetest on earth, 'tis the spot I delight in tis the place of my birth; my Father, my Mother, with affection so strong; and besides my delight with Old Uncle Tom, dear Uncle Tom, oh Good Uncle Tom. He tells me such tales, and he sings me his songs, he talks ever gentle, but never of his wrongs; he calls me dear Missus, he prays morn and night; and he follows my pastimes, with cheerful delight, dear Uncle Tom, oh good Uncle Tom. |
