This statue of Liberty busy man	A
Here erect in the city square	B
I have watched while your scrubbings this early morning	C
Strangely wistful	D
And half tristful	D
Have turned her from foul to fair	B
	-
With your bucket of water and mop and brush	E
Bringing her out of the grime	F
That has smeared her during the smokes of winter	G
With such glumness	H
In her dumbness	H
And aged her before her time	F
	-
You have washed her down with motherly care	B
Head shoulders arm and foot	I
To the very hem of the robes that drape her	G
All expertly	D
And alertly	D
Till a long stream black with soot	I
	-
Flows over the pavement to the road	J
And her shape looms pure as snow	K
I read you are hired by the City guardians	H
May be yearly	D
Or once merely	D
To treat the statues so	K
	-
Oh I'm not hired by the Councilmen	L
To cleanse the statues here	M
I do this one as a self willed duty	D
Not as paid to	N
Or at all made to	N
But because the doing is dear	O
	-
Ah then I hail you brother and friend	P
Liberty's knight divine	Q
What you have done would have been my doing	C
Yea most verily	D
Well and thoroughly	D
Had but your courage been mine	Q
	-
Oh I care not for Liberty's mould	R
Liberty charms not me	D
What's Freedom but an idler's vision	S
Vain pernicious	H
Often vicious	H
Of things that cannot be	D
	-
Memory it is that brings me to this	H
Of a daughter my one sweet own	T
She grew a famous carver's model	D
One of the fairest	U
And of the rarest	V
She sat for the figure as shown	T
	-
But alas she died in this distant place	H
Before I was warned to betake	W
Myself to her side And in love of my darling	C
In love of the fame of her	G
And the good name of her	G
I do this for her sake	W
	-
Answer I gave not Of that form	X
The carver was I at his side	Y
His child my model held so saintly	D
Grand in feature	G
Gross in nature	G
In the dens of vice had died	Y
