BALLADS.
THE THANKS OF GRAND'THER BALDWIN
You copper under protected, from the distant public road only;
Stands the house of Grand'ther Baldwin, with his/her roof softly tilting himself/herself/itself.
Plaza of form and solid-built in wood, you/he/she was being standing, I have felt,
In the days of Liberal and Conservative, under real George the third one.
A lot of once, I remember well, I have looked fixed with Childish reverential fear
To I pellet-puncture her/it that he/she remains in the door of strong oaken,
Becoming round mean-apprehensive (the recking not as time was run away)
To wait for, wild foeman from which the musket was sped..
Not far street, the barn, plethoric with the loots of crop in the autumn,
Taken the trophies well-earned of the grower--the guerdon of his/her toils;
Filled the attics with hay, sweet-perfumed abducted in ecstasy from the green of lawns,
While under of you/he/she is stopped the bovine livestock, with their quiet sent to sleep aspect.
Deep and spacious it is the wheat-cans, while filling o'er with the gold of nature;
Here are poles of yellow pumpkins on the barn-floor freely rolled.
