Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCB DEFEGGE HIJIKKI LMLMNNM OLOLPPL| Oh for that kindly copper | A |
| I knew long years ago | B |
| A stalwart man and proper | A |
| Crime's unrelenting foe | B |
| He was for me a shield a friend | C |
| Who sole concern was to defend | C |
| Such just rights as I know | B |
| - | |
| My bedtime thoughts went with him | D |
| What time his forthright feet | E |
| In slow and measured rhythm | F |
| Patrolled his midnight beat | E |
| And knowing he was on my side | G |
| I blessed him snugly satisfied | G |
| Our concord was complete | E |
| - | |
| And now tho' we've neglected | H |
| No duty sought no change | I |
| This friend I once respected | J |
| Half hostile grows and strange | I |
| They've made of him a hybrid thing | K |
| And jobs we both dislike now bring | K |
| Him well within my range | I |
| - | |
| His stern eye holds suspicions | L |
| I feel I don't deserve | M |
| Re rules and requisitions | L |
| That fairly get my nerve | M |
| And when I motor thro' the land | N |
| His great prohibitive red hand | N |
| Restrains my merry verve | M |
| - | |
| They give him duties menial | O |
| Jobs that no proud cop asks | L |
| So that he once so genial | O |
| No more in favor basks | L |
| And I am quite convinced the pop | P |
| ularity of any cop | P |
| Must suffer thro' these tasks | L |
