Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCDD EFEFGHI JKJKLLCC M MNOOPP| What do they dream about standing there | A |
| In the windows facing the street | B |
| Eyes transfixed in a strange far stare | A |
| Smiles so ineffably sweet | B |
| Lady and gentleman dummies clad | C |
| In the newest fashion the latest fad | C |
| Garbed so expensively well turned out | D |
| What have they got to commune about | D |
| - | |
| Winter comes Now a chill wind stirs | E |
| The rain comes pattering down | F |
| But they suddenly snuggle in coats and furs | E |
| And the coziest cloaks in town | F |
| Field glasses there or a race book here | G |
| 'The National Why of course my dear | H |
| I mean to be there tho' Trophet may freeze | I |
| How could I miss it in clothes like these ' | - |
| - | |
| Spring smiles down and the days grow bright | J |
| And the ladies garbed anew | K |
| Change like the tulips overnight | J |
| To gowns of many a hue | K |
| As in a garden gay colors glow | L |
| They are thinking of Henley the Cup the Show | L |
| While each glad gentleman blazer clad | C |
| Is the beau ideal of the sporting lad | C |
| - | |
| But Henley comes and the Show the Cup | M |
| Yet no superior 'gent ' | - |
| No simpering lady e'er turns up | M |
| For still in their windows pent | N |
| Dressed for the revel how like they seem | O |
| To me and to many who stand and dream | O |
| Poor human dummies but half alive | P |
| Who are always 'going' but never arrive | P |
