Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EFGF HIJK LMNO PQRQ SQTQ| 'T was just this time last year I died | A |
| I know I heard the corn | B |
| When I was carried by the farms | C |
| It had the tassels on | D |
| - | |
| I thought how yellow it would look | E |
| When Richard went to mill | F |
| And then I wanted to get out | G |
| But something held my will | F |
| - | |
| I thought just how red apples wedged | H |
| The stubble's joints between | I |
| And carts went stooping round the fields | J |
| To take the pumpkins in | K |
| - | |
| I wondered which would miss me least | L |
| And when Thanksgiving came | M |
| If father'd multiply the plates | N |
| To make an even sum | O |
| - | |
| And if my stocking hung too high | P |
| Would it blur the Christmas glee | Q |
| That not a Santa Claus could reach | R |
| The altitude of me | Q |
| - | |
| But this sort grieved myself and so | S |
| I thought how it would be | Q |
| When just this time some perfect year | T |
| Themselves should come to me | Q |
