	A
	-
When the world turns completely upside down	B
You say we'll emigrate to the Eastern Shore	C
Aboard a river boat from Baltimore	C
We'll live among wild peach trees miles from town	B
You'll wear a coonskin cap and I a gown	B
Homespun dyed butternut's dark gold colour	C
Lost like your lotus eating ancestor	C
We'll swim in milk and honey till we drown	B
	-
The winter will be short the summer long	D
The autumn amber hued sunny and hot	E
Tasting of cider and of scuppernong	D
All seasons sweet but autumn best of all	F
The squirrels in their silver fur will fall	F
Like falling leaves like fruit before your shot	E
	-
	-
	-
The autumn frosts will lie upon the grass	G
Like bloom on grapes of purple brown and gold	H
The misted early mornings will be cold	H
The little puddles will be roofed with glass	G
The sun which burns from copper into brass	G
Melts these at noon and makes the boys unfold	H
Their knitted mufflers full as they can hold	H
Fat pockets dribble chestnuts as they pass	G
	-
Peaches grow wild and pigs can live in clover	C
A barrel of salted herrings lasts a year	C
The spring begins before the winter's over	C
By February you may find the skins	I
Of garter snakes and water moccasins	I
Dwindled and harsh dead white and cloudy clear	C
	-
	-
	-
When April pours the colours of a shell	J
Upon the hills when every little creek	K
Is shot with silver from the Chesapeake	K
In shoals new minted by the ocean swell	J
When strawberries go begging and the sleek	K
Blue plums lie open to the blackbird's beak	K
We shall live well we shall live very well	J
	-
The months between the cherries and the peaches	L
Are brimming cornucopias which spill	M
Fruits red and purple sombre bloomed and black	N
Then down rich fields and frosty river beaches	L
We'll trample bright persimmons while you kill	M
Bronze partridge speckled quail and canvasback	N
	-
	-
	-
Down to the Puritan marrow of my bones	O
There's something in this richness that I hate	P
I love the look austere immaculate	Q
Of landscapes drawn in pearly monotones	O
There's something in my very blood that owns	O
Bare hills cold silver on a sky of slate	P
A thread of water churned to milky spate	P
Streaming through slanted pastures fenced with stones	O
	-
I love those skies thin blue or snowy gray	C
Those fields sparse planted rendering meagre sheaves	O
That spring briefer than apple blossom's breath	R
Summer so much too beautiful to stay	C
Swift autumn like a bonfire of leaves	O
And sleepy winter like the sleep of death	R
