| - | |
| In lone Glenartney's thickets lies couched the lordly stag | B |
| The dreaming terrier's tail forgets its customary wag | B |
| And plodding ploughmen's weary steps insensibly grow quicker | C |
| As broadening casements light them on towards home or home brewed | D |
| liquor | C |
| - | |
| It is in fact the evening that pure and pleasant time | E |
| When stars break into splendour and poets into rhyme | E |
| When in the glass of Memory the forms of loved ones shine | F |
| And when of course Miss Goodchild's is prominent in mine | F |
| - | |
| Miss Goodchild Julia Goodchild how graciously you smiled | G |
| Upon my childish passion once yourself a fair haired child | G |
| When I was no doubt profiting by Dr Crabb's instruction | H |
| And sent those streaky lollipops home for your fairy suction | H |
| - | |
| 'She wore' her natural 'roses the night when first we met' | G |
| Her golden hair was gleaming 'neath the coercive net | G |
| 'Her brow was like the snawdrift ' her step was like Queen Mab's | I |
| And gone was instantly the heart of every boy at Crabb's | I |
| - | |
| The parlour boarder chasseed tow'rds her on graceful limb | J |
| The onyx decked his bosom but her smiles were not for him | J |
| With ME she danced till drowsily her eyes 'began to blink ' | - |
| And I brought raisin wine and said 'Drink pretty creature drink ' | - |
| - | |
| And evermore when winter comes in his garb of snows | I |
| And the returning schoolboy is told how fast he grows | I |
| Shall I with that soft hand in mine enact ideal Lancers | I |
| And dream I hear demure remarks and make impassioned answers | I |
| - | |
| I know that never never may her love for me return | K |
| At night I muse upon the fact with undisguised concern | K |
| But ever shall I bless that day I don't bless as a rule | L |
| The days I spent at 'Dr Crabb's Preparatory School ' | - |
| - | |
| And yet we two MAY meet again Be still my throbbing heart | G |
| Now rolling years have weaned us from jam and raspberry tart | G |
| One night I saw a vision 'Twas when musk roses bloom | M |
| I stood WE stood upon a rug in a sumptuous dining room | M |
| - | |
| One hand clasped hers one easily reposed upon my hip | N |
| And 'BLESS YE ' burst abruptly from Mr Goodchild's lip | N |
| I raised my brimming eye and saw in hers an answering gleam | O |
| My heart beat wildly and I woke and lo it was a dream | O |
