We met on Boston Common	A
Of course it was by chance	B
A sudden unexpected	C
But happy circumstance	B
That gave the dull October day	D
A beautiful refulgent ray	D
	-
Like wandering refugees from	E
A city of renown	F
Impelled to reconnoiter	G
This Massachusetts town	F
Each by a common object urged	H
Upon the park our paths converged	H
	-
Good nature bubbling over	G
In healthy hearty laughs	I
And little lavish speeches	J
Like pleasant paragraphs	I
The kind regard unstudied joke	K
His true felicity bespoke	K
	-
A bit of doleful knowledge	L
Confided unto me	M
About the way the doctors	N
Who never could agree	M
His knees had tortured softly drew	O
My sympathy and humor too	O
	-
I hoped he wouldn't lose them	P
And languish in the dumps	Q
By having to quadrille on	R
A pair of polished stumps	Q
But a corky limb though one might dread	S
Isn't half as bad as a wooden head	S
	-
He censured those empirics	Q
Who never heal an ill	T
Though bound by their diplomas	Q
To either cure or kill	T
Who should with ignominy crowned	U
Their patients follow under ground	U
	-
I left him at the foot of	V
The Soldiers' Monument	W
With incoherent mutterings	Q
As though 'twere his intent	X
To turn the sod a rod or two	O
And sleep beside the boys in blue	O
	-
In Hartford's charming circles	Q
His bonhommie I miss	Q
And having never seen him	Y
From that day unto this	Q
I think of him with much regret	Z
As lying with the soldiers yet	Z
