| A rickety fence goes round the yard | B |
| And the noisy streets stand high | C |
| The grassless ground is brown and hard | B |
| And the cinder pathways lined with shard | B |
| Sees but a bit of sky | C |

| Once the yard was fertile and fair | D |
| And lilac bushes near | E |
| And a Yankee counted with fretful care | D |
| Under the solacing shadows there | D |
| The gain of every year | E |
| - | |
| The crowded walls of trade arose | F |
| And gloomed the avenue | G |
| But a Munster man at each day's close | H |
| Built in the tree his hope's rainbows | F |
| And saw his dreams come true | G |

| The years have thickened the darkened air | D |
| But the tree is still on guard | B |
| It comforts the young Italian there | D |
| Who sees the future blossoming fair | D |
| From the tree in the tenement yard | B |
