The Onion’s Query
Cook,” the onion whisper'd “while you are peeling, The common carrot or the apple green. Von never siiow a sad, unhappy feeling, And in your eyes no brimming teairs are seen. But when my crisp brown coat you start undoing. The tears within your eyes begin to swell. And while you slice me up for Irish Stewing, The process seems to cut you up as well. Oh, Cook, be kind and let be know Why I alone appear to move you so!”
