I saw him once before	A
As he passed by the door	A
And again	B
The pavement stones resound	C
As he totters o'er the ground	C
With his cane	D
	-
They say that in his prime	E
Ere the pruning knife of Time	E
Cut him down	F
Not a better man was found	C
By the Crier on his round	C
Through the town	F
	-
But now he walks the streets	G
And he looks at all he meets	G
Sad and wan	H
And he shakes his feeble head	I
That it seems as if he said	I
They are gone	J
	-
The mossy marbles rest	K
On the lips that he has prest	K
In their bloom	L
And the names he loved to hear	M
Have been carved for many a year	N
On the tomb	L
	-
My grandmamma has said	I
Poor old lady she is dead	I
Long ago	O
That he had a Roman nose	P
And his cheek was like a rose	P
In the snow	O
	-
But now his nose is thin	Q
And it rests upon his chin	Q
Like a staff	R
And a crook is in his back	S
And a melancholy crack	S
In his laugh	R
	-
I know it is a sin	Q
For me to sit and grin	Q
At him here	M
But the old three cornered hat	T
And the breeches and all that	T
Are so queer	N
	-
And if I should live to be	U
The last leaf upon the tree	U
In the spring	V
Let them smile as I do now	W
At the old forsaken bough	W
Where I cling	V
