ABIJAH’S FOURTH OF JULY
For, just at dark, he dropped a spark
Where sparks are very worst, sir;
A blinding flash—a frightful crash—

A powder-keg had burst, sir!
Abijah found but scattered shreds
When he returned to town, sir,
And people standing on their heads
Where they had just come down, sir!

The People Standing on Their Heads.
