The Bat

Title:     The Bat
Author: Ruth McEnery Stuart [More Titles by Stuart]

Br'er Bat flaps out in de gloomin' dark,
An' even ef he's boun' for a harmless lark,
He favors de devil an' he keeps sech hours
Dat he seems in cahoot wid de evil powers.
An' he ain't by 'isself in dat, in dat--
An' he ain't by 'isself in dat.

[The end]
Ruth McEnery Stuart's poem: Bat
