| Hoeing the celery | B |
| Wonders the Lord has made | C |
| Pass ever before me | B |
| I see the young birds build | D |
| And swallows come and go | E |
| And summer grow and gild | D |
| And winter die in snow | E |
| - | |
| Many a thing I note | F |
| And store it in my mind | G |
| For all my ragged coat | F |
| That scarce will stop the wind | G |
| I light my pipe and draw | H |
| And leaning on my spade | C |
| I marvel with much awe | I |
| O'er all the Lord hath made | C |

| Now here's a curious thing | J |
| Upon the first of March | K |
| The crow goes house building | J |
| In the elm and in the larch | K |
| And be it shine or snow | E |
| Though many winds carouse | L |
| That day the artful crow | E |
| Begins to build his house | M |
| - | |
| But then the wonder's big | N |
| If Sunday fell that day | O |
| Nor straw nor screw nor twig | N |
| Till Monday would he lay | O |
| His black wings to his side | P |
| He'd drone upon his perch | Q |
| Subdued and holy eyed | P |
| As though he were in church | Q |
| - | |
| The crow's a gentleman | R |
| Not greatly to my mind | G |
| He'll steal what seeds he can | S |
| And all you hide he'll find | G |
| Yet though he's bully and sneak | T |
| To small birds bird of prey | O |
| He counts the days of the week | T |
| And keeps the Sabbath Day | O |
