MASSACHUSETTS BAY	A
	-
THE robins sang in the orchard the buds into	B
blossoms grew	B
Little of human sorrow the buds and the robins	C
knew	B
Sick in an alien household the poor French	D
neutral lay	A
Into her lonesome garret fell the light of the April	E
day	A
Through the dusty window curtained by the spider's	C
warp and woof	F
On the loose laid floor of hemlock on oaken ribs	C
of roof	F
The bedquilt's faded patchwork the teacups on the	G
stand	H
The wheel with flaxen tangle as it dropped from	I
her sick hand	H
	-
What to her was the song of the robin or warm	J
morning light	K
As she lay in the trance of the dying heedless of	L
sound or sight	K
	-
Done was the work of her bands she had eaten her	M
bitter bread	N
The world of the alien people lay behind her dim	O
and dead	N
	-
But her soul went back to its child time she saw	C
the sun o'erflow	E
With gold the Basin of Minas and set over	M
Gaspereau	M
	-
The low bare flats at ebb tide the rush of the sea	C
at flood	P
Through inlet and creek and river from dike to	B
upland wood	Q
	-
The gulls in the red of morning the fish hawk's	C
rise and fall	E
The drift of the fog in moonshine over the dark	R
coast wall	E
	-
She saw the face of her mother she heard the song	S
she sang	T
And far off faintly slowly the bell for vespers	C
rang	T
	-
By her bed the hard faced mistress sat smoothing	U
the wrinkled sheet	V
Peering into the face so helpless and feeling the	G
ice cold feet	V
	-
With a vague remorse atoning for her greed and	W
long abuse	C
By care no longer heeded and pity too late for use	C
	-
Up the stairs of the garret softly the son of the	G
mistress stepped	X
Leaned over the head board covering his face with	Y
his hands and wept	X
	-
Outspake the mother who watched him sharply	C
with brow a frown	Z
'What love you the Papist the beggar the	G
charge of the town '	-
	-
Be she Papist or beggar who lies here I know	A2
and God knows	C
I love her and fain would go with her wherever	M
she goes	C
	-
'O mother that sweet face came pleading for	M
love so athirst	X
You saw but the town charge I knew her God's	C
angel at first '	-
	-
Shaking her gray head the mistress hushed down	Z
a bitter cry	M
And awed by the silence and shadow of death	B2
drawing nigh	M
	-
She murmured a psalm of the Bible but closer	M
the young girl pressed	X
With the last of her life in her fingers the cross	C
to her breast	X
	-
'My son come away ' cried the mother her voice	C
cruel grown	C2
'She is joined to her idols like Ephraim let her	M
alone '	-
	-
But he knelt with his hand on her forehead his	C
lips to her ear	M
And he called back the soul that was passing	U
'Marguerite do you hear '	-
	-
She paused on the threshold of Heaven love pity	X
surprise	C
Wistful tender lit up for an instant the cloud of	L
her eyes	C
	-
With his heart on his lips he kissed her but never	M
her cheek grew red	X
And the words the living long for he spake in the	G
ear of the dead	X
	-
And the robins sang in the orchard where buds to	X
blossoms grew	X
Of the folded hands and the still face never the	G
robins knew	X
