Oh! give me something of my own,

In which Man has no part;

Which I may hoard, or spend, or loan,

And it shall ease my heart.

And if you ask me whence 'twill come,

And what will be my plan,

I answer that that private sum

Should come—of course—from Man!

I'll grab it quick, I'll hold it tight,

That welcome L. S. D.,
