At Noey's house when they arrived with him	A
How snug seemed everything and neat and trim	A
The little picket fence and little gate	B
It's little pulley and its little weight	B
All glib as clock work as it clicked behind	C
Them on the little red brick pathway lined	C
With little paint keg vases and teapots	D
Of wee moss blossoms and forgetmenots	D
And in the windows either side the door	E
Were ranged as many little boxes more	E
Of like old fashioned larkspurs pinks and moss	D
And fern and phlox while up and down across	D
Them rioted the morning glory vines	D
On taut set cotton strings whose snowy lines	D
Whipt in and out and under the bright green	F
Like basting threads and here and there between	F
A showy shiny hollyhock would flare	G
Its pink among the white and purple there	G
And still behind the vines the children saw	D
A strange bleached wistful face that seemed to draw	D
A vague indefinite sympathy A face	D
It was of some newcomer to the place	D
In explanation Noey briefly said	H
That it was 'Jason ' as he turned and led	H
The little fellows 'round the house to show	I
Them his menagerie of pets And so	I
For quite a time the face of the strange guest	J
Was partially forgotten as they pressed	J
About the squirrel cage and rousted both	K
The lazy inmates out though wholly loath	K
To whirl the wheel for them And then with awe	L
They walked 'round Noey's big pet owl and saw	D
Him film his great clear liquid eyes and stare	G
And turn and turn and turn his head 'round there	G
The same way they kept circling as though he	M
Could turn it one way thus eternally	M
	-
Behind the kitchen then with special pride	N
Noey stirred up a terrapin inside	N
The rain barrel where he lived with three or four	E
Little mud turtles of a size not more	E
In neat circumference than the tiny toy	O
Dumb watches worn by every little boy	O
	-
Then back of the old shop beneath the tree	M
Of 'rusty coats ' as Noey called them he	M
Next took the boys to show his favorite new	P
Pet 'coon pulled rather coyly into view	P
Up through a square hole in the bottom of	Q
An old inverted tub he bent above	Q
Yanking a little chain with 'Hey you sir	R
Here's comp'ny come to see you Bolivur '	-
Explanatory he went on to say	D
'I named him ' Bolivur ' jes thisaway	L
He looks so round and ovalish and fat	S
'Peared like no other name 'ud fit but that '	-
	-
Here Noey's father called and sent him on	T
Some errand 'Wait ' he said 'I won't be gone	U
A half a' hour Take Bud and go on in	V
Where Jason is tel I git back agin '	-
	-
Whoever Jason was they found him there	G
Still at the front room window By his chair	G
Leaned a new pair of crutches and from one	W
Knee down a leg was bandaged 'Jason done	W
That air with one o' these 'ere tools we call	X
A ' shin hoe ' but a foot adz mostly all	X
Hardware store keepers calls 'em ' Noey made	Y
This explanation later	R
	-
Jason paid	Y
But little notice to the boys as they	D
Came in the room An idle volume lay	D
Upon his lap the only book in sight	Z
And Johnty read the title 'Light More Light	Z
There's Danger in the Dark ' though first and best	J
In fact the whole of Jason's interest	A2
Seemed centered on a little dog one pet	B2
Of Noey's all uncelebrated yet	B2
Though Jason certainly avowed his worth	C2
And niched him over all the pets on earth	C2
As the observant Johnty would relate	B
The Jason episode and imitate	B
The all enthusiastic speech and air	G
Of Noey's kinsman and his tribute there	G
