Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEBEDFGEDEBEDCHDH IBJD| I said to Lettice our sister Lettice | A |
| While drooped and glistened her eyelash brown | B |
| 'Your man's a poor man a cold and dour man | C |
| There's many a better about our town ' | D |
| She smiled securely 'He loves me purely | E |
| A true heart's safe both in smile or frown | B |
| And nothing harms me while his love warms me | E |
| Whether the world go up or down ' | D |
| 'He comes of strangers and they are rangers | F |
| And ill to trust girl when out of sight | G |
| Fremd folk may blame ye and e'en defame ye | E |
| A gown oft handled looks seldom white ' | D |

| 'My innocence is my whitest gown | B |
| No harsh tongue grieves me while he believes me | E |
| Whether the world go up or down ' | D |
| 'Your man's a frail man was ne'er a hale man | C |
| And sickness knocketh at every door | H |
| And death comes making bold hearts cower breaking ' | D |
| Our Lettice trembled but once no more | H |
| 'If death should enter smite to the center | I |
| Our poor home palace all crumbling down | B |
| He cannot fright us nor disunite us | J |
| Life bears Love's cross death brings Love's crown ' | D |
