| And I was proud | B |
| I looked upon the scene and found it good | A |
| For here I vowed | B |
| Reigned Beauty rare Sweet praises filled my mouth | C |
| For this the loveliest city of the south | C |
| Yet not a soul could hear | D |
| Altho' my lyric praise with fervor flowed | E |
| For as I spoke there rumbled down the road | E |
| A lorry load of beer | F |

| Aesthetic joy | H |
| With those rare phrases culled from far and wide | G |
| Poets employ | H |

| Manned by a crew of large unlovely men | M |
| Who jeered and darned my eyes | N |
| 'Vandals ' I shouted 'Nay repent your sins ' | - |
| Then leapt again to dodge a load of skins | O |
| That smelled unto the skies | N |

| Still on they came truck waggon rank on rank | P |
| I dodged I leapt | Q |
| The threw myself upon a grassy bank | P |
| And there I wept | Q |
| Wept for the city A park keeper came | R |
| A mean ungracious man who took my name | R |
| 'O man ' I cried 'Alas | N |
| See how I weep Must beauty disappear ' | - |
| Said he 'Buzz orf You can't do that there 'ere | F |
| Spoilin' our nice noo grass ' | - |
