'Tis not that Dying hurts us so
'Tis Living — hurts us more
But Dying — is a different way
A Kind behind the Door
The Southern Custom — of the Bird
That ere the Frosts are due
Accepts a better Latitude
We — are the Birds — that stay
The Shrivers round Farmers' doors
For whose reluctant Crumb
We stipulate — till pitying Snows
Persuade our Feathers Home
'Tis not that Dying hurts us so
'Tis Living — hurts us more
But Dying — is a different way
A Kind behind the Door
The Southern Custom — of the Bird
That ere the Frosts are due
Accepts a better Latitude
We — are the Birds — that stay
The Shrivers round Farmers' doors
For whose reluctant Crumb
We stipulate — till pitying Snows
Persuade our Feathers Home
