Rhyme Scheme: ABABAB CDCDCD EFEFEF GHGHGH I IJIJ FKFKFK| A pleasant land is Scribie where | A |
| The light comes mostly from below | B |
| And seems a sort of symbol rare | A |
| Of things at large and how they go | B |
| In rooms where doors are everywhere | A |
| And cupboards shelter friend or foe | B |
| - | |
| This is a realm where people tell | C |
| Each other when they chance to meet | D |
| Of things that long ago befell | C |
| And do most solemnly repeat | D |
| Secrets they both know very well | C |
| Aloud and in the public street | D |
| - | |
| A land where lovers go in fours | E |
| Master and mistress man and maid | F |
| Where people listen at the doors | E |
| Or 'neath a table's friendly shade | F |
| And comic Irishmen in scores | E |
| Roam o'er the scenes all undismayed | F |
| - | |
| A land where Virtue in distress | G |
| Owes much to uncles in disguise | H |
| Where British sailors frankly bless | G |
| Their limbs their timbers and their eyes | H |
| And where the villain doth confess | G |
| Conveniently before he dies | H |
| - | |
| A land of lovers false and gay | I |
| A land where people dread a 'curse ' | - |
| A land of letters gone astray | I |
| Or intercepted which is worse | J |
| Where weddings false fond maids betray | I |
| And all the babes are changed at nurse | J |
| - | |
| Oh happy land where things come right | F |
| We of the world where things go ill | K |
| Where lovers love but don't unite | F |
| Where no one finds the Missing Will | K |
| Dominion of the heart's delight | F |
| Scribie we've loved and love thee still | K |
