What is – “Paradise” –

Who lives there –

Are they “Farmers” –

Do they “hoe” –

Do they know that this is “Amherst” –

And that I – am coming – too –

Do they wear “new shoes” – in “Eden” –

Is it always pleasant – there –

Wont they scold us – when we’re hungry – homesick*

Or tell God – how cross we are –

You are sure there’s such a person

As “a Father” – in the sky –

So if I get lost – there – ever –

Or do what the Nurse calls “die” –

I shan’t walk the “Jasper” – barefoot –

Ransomed folks – wont laugh at me –

Maybe – “Eden” a’nt so lonesome

As New England used to be!

1861
