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 –

I rejoice you

are better –

Grandma′s fervent

love –

Emily –

 

 ¦

 

Ned —
