Rhyme Scheme: ABBCDD EFEGFHHFIIFBBBJJ KKLLL GMMNNGM| I tell my secret No indeed not I | A |
| Perhaps some day who knows | B |
| But not to day it froze and blows and snows | B |
| And you're too curious fie | C |
| You want to hear it well | D |
| Only my secret's mine and I won't tell | D |
| - | |
| Or after all perhaps there's none | E |
| Suppose there is no secret after all | F |
| But only just my fun | E |
| To day's a nipping day a biting day | G |
| In which one wants a shawl | F |
| A veil a cloak and other wraps | H |
| I cannot ope to every one who taps | H |
| And let the draughts come whistling through my hall | F |

| Come buffeting astounding me | I |
| Nipping and clipping through my wraps and all | F |
| I wear my mask for warmth who ever shows | B |
| His nose to Russian snows | B |
| To be pecked at by every wind that blows | B |
| You would not peck I thank you for good will | J |
| Believe but leave that truth untested still | J |

| Spring's an expansive time yet I don't trust | K |
| March with its peck of dust | K |
| Nor April with its rainbow crowned brief showers | L |
| Nor even May whose flowers | L |
| One frost may wither through the sunless hours | L |
| - | |
| Perhaps some languid summer day | G |
| When drowsy birds sing less and less | M |
| And golden fruit is ripening to excess | M |
| If there's not too much sun nor too much cloud | N |
| And the warm wind is neither still nor loud | N |
| Perhaps my secret I may say | G |
| Or you may guess | M |
