Dear Ned –
I send
you a Portrait
of the Parish, and
the first Sugar –
Dont bite the
Parish, by mistake,
though you may
be tempted –
¦
A – Field of Stubble, lying sere
Beneath the
second Sun –
It′s Toils to
Brindled People
thrust –
It′s Triumphs – to
the Bin –
Accosted by a
¦
timid Bird
Irresolute of Alms –
Is often seen –
but seldom felt,
On our New England
Farms –
