Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHIH JKKL MNKO KNKP| I used to glorify the poor | A |
| Not simply lofty views expressing | B |
| Their lives alone I felt were true | C |
| Devoid of pomp and window dressing | B |
| - | |
| No stranger to the manor house | D |
| Its finery and lordly tenor | E |
| I was a friend of down and outs | F |
| And shunned the idly sponging manner | E |

| For choosing friendship in the ranks | G |
| Of working people though no rebel | H |
| I had the honour to be stamped | I |
| As also one among the rabble | H |
| - | |
| The state of basements unadorned | J |
| Of attics with no frills or curtains | K |
| Was tangible without pretence | K |
| And full of substance weighty certain | L |
| - | |
| And I went bad when rot defaced | M |
| Our time and life became infested | N |
| When grief was censured as disgrace | K |
| And all played optimists and yes men | O |
| - | |
| My faith in those who seemed my friends | K |
| Was broken and our ties were sundered | N |
| I too lost Man the Human since | K |
| He had been lost by all and sundry | P |
