Rhyme Scheme: AABCCBDDBEEBBBFGGFHH IDDIJJKLLKMMNOONPPCQ QCRRISSI| UP those Museum steps you came | A |
| And straightway all my blood was flame | A |
| O Lallie Lallie | B |
| The world I had been feeling low | C |
| In one short moment's space did grow | C |
| A happy valley | B |
| There was a friend my friend with you | D |
| A meagre dame in peacock blue | D |
| Apparelled quaintly | B |
| This poet heart went pit a pat | E |
| I bowed and smiled and raised my hat | E |
| You nodded faintly | B |
| My heart was full as full could be | B |
| You had not got a word for me | B |
| Not one short greeting | F |
| That nonchalant small nod you gave | G |
| The tyrant's motion to the slave | G |
| Sole mark'd our meeting | F |
| Is it so long Do you forget | H |
| That first and last time that we met | H |
| The time was summer | I |
| The trees were green the sky was blue | D |
| Our host presented me to you | D |
| A tardy comer | I |
| You look'd demure but when you spoke | J |
| You made a little funny joke | J |
| Yet half pathetic | K |
| Your gown was grey I recollect | L |
| I think you patronized the sect | L |
| They call aelig sthetic | K |
| I brought you strawberries and cream | M |
| And plied you long about a stream | M |
| With duckweed laden | N |
| We solemnly discussed the heat | O |
| I found you shy and very sweet | O |
| A rosebud maiden | N |
| Ah me to day You passed inside | P |
| To where the marble gods abide | P |
| Hermes Apollo | C |
| Sweet Aphrodite Pan and where | Q |
| For aye reclined a headless fair | Q |
| Beats all fairs hollow | C |
| And I I went upon my way | R |
| Well rather sadder let us say | R |
| The world looked flatter | I |
| I had been sad enough before | S |
| A little less a little more | S |
| What does it matter | I |
