He told a homely taleB
And spotted it with tearsC
Upon his infant face was setD
The Cicatrice of yearsE

All crumpled was the cheekF
No other kiss had knownG
Than flake of snow divided withH
The Redbreast of the BarnI

If Mother in the GraveJ
Or Father on the SeaK
Or Father in the FirmamentD
Or Brethren had heK

If Commonwealth belowL
Or Commonwealth aboveM
Have missed a Barefoot CitizenN
