Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJEKILMNOPQP NRSTUEVEWXTCYZ

The buzz saw snarled and rattled in the yardA
And made dust and dropped stove length sticks of woodB
Sweet scented stuff when the breeze drew across itC
And from there those that lifted eyes could countD
Five mountain ranges one behind the otherE
Under the sunset far into VermontF
And the saw snarled and rattled snarled and rattledG
As it ran light or had to bear a loadH
And nothing happened day was all but doneI
Call it a day I wish they might have saidJ
To please the boy by giving him the half hourE
That a boy counts so much when saved from workK
His sister stood beside them in her apronI
To tell them Supper At the word the sawL
As if to prove saws knew what supper meantM
Leaped out at the boy's hand or seemed to leapN
He must have given the hand However it wasO
Neither refused the meeting But the handP
The boy's first outcry was a rueful laughQ
As he swung toward them holding up the handP
Half in appeal but half as if to keepN
The life from spilling Then the boy saw allR
Since he was old enough to know big boyS
Doing a man's work though a child at heartT
He saw all spoiled Don't let him cut my hand offU
The doctor when he comes Don't let him sisterE
So But the hand was gone alreadyV
The doctor put him in the dark of etherE
He lay and puffed his lips out with his breathW
And then the watcher at his pulse took frightX
No one believed They listened at his heartT
Little less nothing and that ended itC
No more to build on there And they since theyY
Were not the one dead turned to their affairsZ
