Have any like Myself
Investigating March,
New Houses on the Hill descried
And possibly a Church

That were not, We are sure
As lately as the Snow
And are Today—if We exist
Though how may this be so?

Have any like Myself
Conjectured Who may be
The Occupants of the Adobes
So easy to the Sky

'Twould seem that God should be
The nearest Neighbor to
And Heaven—a convenient Grace
For Show, or Company

Have any like Myself
Preserved the Charm secure
By shunning carefully the Place
All Seasons of the Year
Excepting March—'Tis then
My Villages be seen
And possibly a Steeple
Not afterward—by Men
