Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDEFF GHGHII CJCJII| You are as young O lady mine | A |
| As ere you were in olden days | B |
| Your lips are red your blue eyes shine | A |
| And still you have your girlish ways | B |
| I hate to think what years have flown | C |
| Since first I praised these things mine own | C |
| - | |
| - | |
| Your frocks still have that youthful cut | D |
| Garbing a svelte form slim and flat | E |
| You should be spreading darling but | D |
| Your middle age has brought no fat | E |
| Indeed you sometimes seem at nights | F |
| A flapper seen in certain lights | F |
| - | |
| - | |
| My fond eyes have surveyed you sweet | G |
| Thro' all these years and found no fault | H |
| Your lustrous hair your tiny feet | G |
| Are still perfection Yet a halt | H |
| In my high praise wakes sudden fears | I |
| You're growing old behind the ears | I |
| - | |
| - | |
| Yet even then I'd not repine | C |
| If that grey matter which should fill | J |
| That pretty head O lady mine | C |
| Gained age 'twere compensation still | J |
| And I'd forgive the ravening years | I |
| If you'd mature above the ears | I |
