And, eke in that vicinitee,
Ten pianolas without lids.

And mornings, I suppose, by gosh,
I'll be awakened prompt at seven,
By ladies hanging up the wash
Only a mile or so from heaven.

During as brass--it shall not be affected
E'en by the elements coupled with Time.

Part of me, most of me never shall perish;
