Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDE BFGFDD HIJKDD LMNMDD ABOBD| Oh I dance upon the lawn in the cold white dawn | A |
| And I gloat upon the corpses of a countless million slain | B |
| Where the frost about my feet spreads its winter winding sheet | C |
| There I chuckle and I chortle as I chant my mad refrain | B |
| 'Lime and sulphur Paris green arsenate of lead | D |
| Benzole couldn't kill 'em but they're dead dead dead ' | E |
| - | |
| Men have said I went insane when the Summer brought its bane | B |
| Beetle bug and butterfly weevil wog and worm | F |
| And a thousand million thrips with my garden came to grips | G |
| Plus a plague of things that fly and creep and crawl and squirm | F |
| Lime and sulphur Paris green arsenate of lead | D |
| They sneered at 'em and leered at 'em and gaily gorged ahead | D |
| - | |
| They fell upon my fancy phlox hyacinths and hollyhocks | H |
| Amaryllis antirrhinum lupin lily all were lost | I |
| All my garden's vanished glory now remained a sorry story | J |
| While dismayed I sprayed and sprayed and reckoned not the cost | K |
| Lime and sulphur Paris green arsenate of lead | D |
| Vain were these till nights afreeze dire destruction spread | D |
| - | |
| Lifeless lie the pupa cases larvae leave no least lone traces | L |
| Apphis eggs if there be any are a pest now haply past | M |
| With a mad song in my throat in the dawn I dance I gloat | N |
| For my eveil days have ended and revenge is here at last | M |
| Vain the Paris green the sulphur vain the arsenate of lead | D |
| Fourteen frosty nights have finsihed all the olden dread | D |
| - | |
| So I dance upon the lawn in the cold white dawn | A |
| And I chortle o'er cadavers of a countless million slain | B |
| Men may moan and deem it sad vowing that I am as mad | O |
| As a hatter what's it matter Join my maniac's refrain | B |
| 'Lime and sulphur Paris green arsenate of lead | D |
| Benzole couldn't kill 'em but they're dead dead dead ' | - |
