Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHAH IJKL DMNM AEFE F| The boy on the famous gray pony | A |
| Just bidding good bye at the door | B |
| Plucking up maiden heart for the fences | C |
| Where his brother won honour of yore | B |
| - | |
| The walk to 'the Meet' with fair children | D |
| And women as gentle as gay | E |
| Ah how do we male hogs in armour | F |
| Deserve such companions as they | E |

| The afternoon's wander to windward | G |
| To meet the dear boy coming back | H |
| And to catch down the turns of the valley | A |
| The last weary chime of the pack | H |
| - | |
| The climb homeward by park and by moorland | I |
| And through the fir forests again | J |
| While the south west wind roars in the gloaming | K |
| Like an ocean of seething champagne | L |
| - | |
| And at night the septette of Beethoven | D |
| And the grandmother by in her chair | M |
| And the foot of all feet on the sofa | N |
| Beating delicate time to the air | M |
| - | |
| Ah God a poor soul can but thank Thee | A |
| For such a delectable day | E |
| Though the fury the fool and the swindler | F |
| To morrow again have their way | E |
