| One sunny day in the early spring | B |
| Before a bluebird dared to sing | B |
| Cloaked and furred as in winter weather | C |
| Seal brown hat and cardinal feather | C |
| Forth with a piping song | D |
| Went Gold Locks after flowers | E |
| Tired of waiting so long | D |
| Said this little girl of ours | E |
| - | |
| She searched the bare brown meadow over | C |
| And found not even a leaf of clover | C |
| Nor where the sod was chill and wet | F |
| Could she spy one tint of violet | G |
| But where the brooklet ran | H |
| A noisy swollen billow | I |
| She picked in her little hand | J |
| A branch of pussie willow | I |
| - | |
| She shouted out in a happy way | K |
| At the catkins' fur so soft and gray | K |
| She smoothed them down with loving pats | L |
| And called them her little pussie cats | L |
| She played at scratch and bite | M |
| She played at feeding cream | N |
| And when she went to bed that night | M |
| Gold Locks dreamed a dream | N |
| - | |
| Curled in a little cosy heap | O |
| Under the bed clothes fast asleep | O |
| She heard although she scarce knew how | P |
| A score of voices M e o w m e o w | - |
| And right before her bed | Q |
| Upon a branching tree | R |
| Were kittens and kittens and kittens | S |
| As thick as they could be | R |
| - | |
| Maltese yellow and black as ink | T |
| White with both ears lined with pink | T |
| Striped like a royal tiger's skin | U |
| Yet all were hollow eyed and thin | U |
| And each one wailed aloud | V |
| Once and twice and thrice | W |
| We are the willow pussies | X |
| O where are the willow mice | W |
| - | |
| Meanwhile outside through branch and bough | P |
| The March wind wailed M e o w m e o w | - |
| 'Twas dark and yet Gold Locks awoke | Y |
| And softly to her mother spoke | Y |
| If they were fed mamma | Z |
| It would be very nice | W |
| But I hope the willow pussies | X |
| Won't find the willow mice | W |
| - | |
| - | |
| Little girl | A2 |
| Little girl | A2 |
| Where have you been | U |
| Gathering roses to give to the queen | B2 |
