'Twas just this time last year I died | B |
I know I heard the Corn | C |
When I was carried by the Farms mdash | D |
It had the Tassels on mdash | D |
- | |
I thought how yellow it would look mdash | D |
When Richard went to mill mdash | D |
And then I wanted to get out | E |
But something held my will | F |
- | |
I thought just how Red mdash Apples wedged | G |
The Stubble's joints between mdash | D |
And the Carts stooping round the fields | H |
To take the Pumpkins in mdash | D |
- | |
I wondered which would miss me least | I |
And when Thanksgiving came | J |
If Father'd multiply the plates mdash | D |
To make an even Sum mdash | D |
- | |
And would it blur the Christmas glee | K |
My Stocking hang too high | L |
For any Santa Claus to reach | D |
The Altitude of me mdash | D |
- | |
But this sort grieved myself | M |
And so I thought the other way | N |
How just this time some perfect year mdash | D |
Themself should come to me mdash | D |
