Oh the elements varied the exquisite plan	A
That are used in constructing the lovely young man	A
His face he has easily made to possess	B
The expression of nothing within to express	B
His hair is oiled glossily back of his ears	C
Atop of his head an equator appears	C
His scanty mustache has symmetrical bends	D
Is groomed with precision and waxed at both ends	D
His darling complexion bewitching to see	E
Is powdered the same as a lady's might be	E
And this is the dear whom the newspapers rude	F
Have scornfully treated and christened the	G
	-
The mental equipment I'll tell if I can	A
That Nature has given the lovely young man	A
A set of emotions consistently weak	H
To go with a creature so gentle and meek	H
A will no opposing can break or surmount	I
Concerning all matters of no great account	I
A reasoning wheel quite correctly revolved	J
When used on small questions already resolved	J
A taste for each gaudy and glistening thing	K
That grows on the vision and dies on the wing	K
Elaborate methods and principles crude	F
Encompass the mental estate of the	G
The outer habiliments hastily scan	A
Employed in adorning the lovely young man	A
His feet two triangular cases have sought	L
By which his five toes to a focus are brought	L
	-
	-
	-
The sheathes that enfold his propellers within	M
Are on the most intimate terms with his skin	M
His starch tortured collar on tip toe appears	C
Desirous of learning the length of his ears	C
And fifteen sixteenths of his brain very nigh	N
Has run all to blossom and stopped in his tie	N
Such some of the splendors mad Fashion has strewed	N
All over the surface comprising the	G
	-
Oh measure the brief philological span	A
Of the high pressure words of the lovely young man	A
B' Jauve you daun't sayh saw youah playing it low	O
Aw auyn't she a daisy I knaw her y' knaw	A
She's thweet on me somehow though why I dawn't say	P
It cawn't be my beauty it must be my way	P
Did you notith laust night Chawley Johnson's neck tie	N
It paralyzed me and I thought I should d i e	E
He's quite a sound fellaw to talk to awhile	Q
It's weally a pity he isn't our style	Q
And thus talks forever with slight interlude	N
The creature that lately was christened a	G
	-
Oh boys there are several hundreds of ways	R
To make yourselves small to the average gaze	R
Of which some will cost you considerably less	B
Accomplishing nearly an equal success	B
Go purchase a gilded hand organ some day	P
And stand on the corner and solemnly play	P
Envelop yourselves in the skin of an ape	S
Assuming his methods as well as his shape	S
Submit to refined zoological charms	T
And carry a lap dog about in your arms	T
But don't let Destruction upon you intrude	N
So far as to make you down into a	G

	-
I think I saw a minute's half or less	B
The young girl who composed this spiteful mess	B
She watched me pick it up made a half rush	U
Toward me and then retreated with a blush	U
I called before she vanished from my vision	A
My dear I think you've lost your composition	A
But she dodged off as if she seemed to doubt it	N
And I suppose went on to school without it	N
	-

	-
Pacing the question over far and near	V
I think the little maid was too severe	V
Sweet Charity can roof much sin they tell	W
Why shouldn't it shelter foolishness as well	W
When we draw rein and look about a minute	N
We see no field but God is somewhere in it	N
He made the eagle and the lion I've heard	N
Why not the monkey and the chipping bird	N

Pavement and window and wall	Y
What is the cost of you all	Y
Parlor and boudoir and stair	Z
Crowded with furniture rare	Z
Gems from the mountains and seas	A2
Spires that out measure the trees	A2
Chamber and palace and hall	Y
What is the price of you all	Y

Voices	B2
What did we cost Bend ear	C2
What did we cost Now hear	C2
	-
Several millions men	A
There in the field and fen	A
Look they are stripped and grim	D2
Sturdy of voice and limb	D2
Painfully now they toil	E2
Into the sullen soil	E2
Stabbing the hills and meads	F2
Planting the silent seeds	F2
Into each streaming face	G2
Glides the hot sun apace	G2
You in the thoughtful guise	H2
You with the dreamy eyes	H2
Why do you labor so	O
Where do your earnings go	O
A goodly part to the rulers that form the powers that be	E
A modest part if lucky for my family and for me	E
And all the rest for the splendors that fringe the river and sea	E

Voices	B2
What did we cost Bend ear	C2
What did we cost Now hear	C2
	-
Listen the factory wall	Y
Sends out its morning call	Y
Hear the machinery's din	A
Look at the folks within	A
Child with a poor pale face	G2
Woman with hurried grace	G2
Man with the look half wise	H2
Girl with the handsome eyes	H2
How the long spindles whirl	I2
How the rich webs unfurl	I2
Maid with the orbs that quiver	J2
With light from Over the River	J2
Why are you toiling so	O
Where do your wages go	O
A goodly part to the owners whoever they may be	E
A little part to the living of those I love and me	E
And all the rest to the cities that gem the river and sea	E

As is well known the weird inimitable poem Over the River was written by a factory girl	I2

Several thousand men	A
There in the hill and glen	A
Forward march Take aim	K2
Fire now a storm of flame	K2
Shriek and curse and shout	N
Death beds lying about	N
Man with the kingly face	G2
There in that gory place	G2
Bleeding and writhing so	O
Well a moment ago	O
Tell me in mangled tones	L2
Tell us amid your groans	L2
What do they buy with war	M2
What were you fighting for	M2
For country and for glory and for the powers that be	E
To deck with pride and honor the family dear to me	E
And to defend our cities that gem the river and sea	E

Wind north east weather getting cross and cool	N2
Wife and the children gone to Sunday school	N2
And I not very well am home again	A
Holding a conversation with my pen	A
And all that I can make it say to me	E
Is Wealth wealth wealth how much I hear and see	E
Strange how on human brains sixteen times o'er	J2
Is stamped and carved the magic word of More	M2
Some several thousands to my credit lie	N
In a small bank on Wall Street handy by	N
But I can't help contriving what I'd do	N
If I possessed the whole Sub Treasury too	N
Or if I had to take a modest tone	A
A million million dollars all my own	A
	-
The subject took so strong a growth in me	E
I overtalked the same last night at tea	E
And so my oldest daughter who can rhyme	O2
And strikes some notes that with her father's chime	O2
Became with that same foolishness possessed	N
So much so that it would not let her rest	N
But hung about her bedside all the night	N
And brought its capabilities in sight	N
So much so that she threw it into verse	P2
As bad as that her father writes or worse	P2
And then with some unconscious girlish grace	G2
And blushes chasing all about her face	G2
She in a way I've learned to understand	N
Quite accident'ly slipped it in my hand	N
It was not made in public to appear	V
But privately I'll paste it right in here	C2

We have not yet learned all the city tricks	Q2
