| For the world as he knew it was kind | B |
| Nor threat of the risk nor necessity's goad | A |
| Gave fear to his innocent mind | B |
| He was merely abroad for a country stroll | C |
| And where lay the peril in that | D |
| While themes so engaging delighted his mind | B |
| As dinner and Dinty the cat | D |

| Then the summons went out and the search was on | E |
| For the danger was clear to all | F |
| Dread death was abroad where the child had gone | G |
| But he answered to never a call | F |
| He harked to the birds and he dreamed his dreams | H |
| As deep in the forest he sat | D |
| And his mind went back to those two great themes | H |

| They found him at last with a smile on his face | I |
| As he prattled of important things | J |
| And in thankfulness for the heavenly grace | I |
| Men gave to their faith wings | J |
| They pondered in fear what might have been | K |
| And on terrors thro' fear begat | D |
| But he prattled away in a mood serene | L |
| Of dinner and Dinty the cat | D |

| Dinner and Dinty How much we lost | M |
| When our joy in the simple things waned | N |
| We have learned of evil at what a cost | O |
| With our wisdom what have we gained | N |
| For how much weariness wisdom brings | J |
| As the world grows dreary and flat | D |
| Since we lost out joy in the innocent things | J |
| Like dinner and Dinty the cat | D |
