Back further than	A
I know in San	A
Francisco dwelt a wealthy man	A
So rich was he	B
That none could be	B
Wise good and great in like degree	B
	-
'Tis true he wrought	C
In deed or thought	C
But few of all the things he ought	C
But men said 'Who	D
Would wish him to	E
Great souls are born to be not do '	-
	-
One thing indeed	F
He did we read	G
Which was becoming all agreed	F
Grown provident	H
Ere life was spent	I
He built a mighty monument	H
	-
For longer than	A
I know in San	A
Francisco lived a beggar man	A
And when in bed	G
They found him dead	G
'Just like the scamp ' the people said	G
	-
He died they say	J
On the same day	J
His wealthy neighbor passed away	J
What matters it	K
When beggars quit	K
Their beats I answer Not a bit	K
	-
They got a spade	L
And pick and made	L
A hole and there the chap was laid	L
'He asked for bread '	-
'Twas neatly said	G
'He'll get not even a stone instead '	-
	-
The years rolled round	M
His humble mound	M
Sank to the level of the ground	M
And men forgot	N
That the bare spot	N
Was like and was the beggar's lot	N
	-
Forgotten too	E
Was t'other who	E
Had reared the monument to woo	E
Inconstant Fame	O
Though still his name	O
Shouted in granite just the same	O
	-
That name I swear	P
They both did bear	P
The beggar and the millionaire	P
That lofty tomb	Q
Then honored whom	Q
For argument here's ample room	Q
	-
I'll not debate	R
But only state	R
The scamp first claimed it at the Gate	R
St Peter proud	S
To serve him bowed	S
And showed him to the softest cloud	S
