-
Who occupies this HouseB
A Stranger I must judgeC
Since No one know His CircumstanceD
'Tis well the name and ageE
-
Are writ upon the DoorF
Or I should fear to pauseG
Where not so much as Honest DogH
Approach encouragesI
-
It seems a curious TownJ
Some Houses very oldK
Some newly raised this AfternoonL
Were I compelled to buildM
-
It should not be amongN
Inhabitants so stillO
But where the Birds assembleP
And Boys were possibleP
-
Before Myself was bornQ
'Twas settled so they sayR
A Territory for the GhostsS
And Squirrels formerlyT
-
Until a Pioneer asU
Settlers often doV
Liking the quiet of the PlaceW
Attracted more untoV
-
And from a SettlementX
A Capital has grownY
Distinguished for the gravityT
Of every CitizenZ
-
The Owner of this HouseB
A Stranger He must beT
Eternity's AcquaintancesI
Are mostly so to meT
