In the cold cold parlor	A
my mother laid out Arthur	A
beneath the chromographs	B
Edward Prince of Wales	B
with Princess Alexandra	C
and King George with Queen Mary	D
Below them on the table	E
stood a stuffed loon	F
shot and stuffed by Uncle	E
Arthur Arthur's father	A
	-
Since Uncle Arthur fired	G
a bullet into him	H
he hadn't said a word	G
He kept his own counsel	E
on his white frozen lake	I
the marble topped table	E
His breast was deep and white	J
cold and caressable	E
his eyes were red glass	B
much to be desired	G
	-
Come said my mother	A
Come and say good bye	K
to your little cousin Arthur	A
I was lifted up and given	L
one lily of the valley	E
to put in Arthur's hand	M
Arthur's coffin was	B
a little frosted cake	I
and the red eyed loon eyed it	N
from his white frozen lake	I
	-
Arthur was very small	E
He was all white like a doll	E
that hadn't been painted yet	O
Jack Frost had started to paint him	H
the way he always painted	P
the Maple Leaf Forever	A
He had just begun on his hair	Q
a few red strokes and then	R
Jack Frost had dropped the brush	S
and left him white forever	A
	-
The gracious royal couples	B
were warm in red and ermine	L
their feet were well wrapped up	T
in the ladies' ermine trains	B
They invited Arthur to be	E
the smallest page at court	U
But how could Arthur go	V
clutching his tiny lily	E
with his eyes shut up so tight	J
and the roads deep in snow	V
