Rhyme Scheme: ABBCBA BDEFED GHBHGI BBBJBK BLMNOP QRSOTU AUVUWA| The hunchback in the park | A |
| A solitary mister | B |
| Propped between trees and water | B |
| From the opening of the garden lock | C |
| That lets the trees and water enter | B |
| Until the Sunday sombre bell at dark | A |
| - | |
| Eating bread from a newspaper | B |
| Drinking water from the chained cup | D |
| That the children filled with gravel | E |
| In the fountain basin where I sailed my ship | F |
| Slept at night in a dog kennel | E |
| But nobody chained him up | D |
| - | |
| Like the park birds he came early | G |
| Like the water he sat down | H |
| And Mister they called Hey mister | B |
| The truant boys from the town | H |
| Running when he had heard them clearly | G |
| On out of sound | I |
| - | |
| Past lake and rockery | B |
| Laughing when he shook his paper | B |
| Hunchbacked in mockery | B |
| Through the loud zoo of the willow groves | J |
| Dodging the park keeper | B |
| With his stick that picked up leaves | K |
| - | |
| And the old dog sleeper | B |
| Alone between nurses and swans | L |
| While the boys among willows | M |
| Made the tigers jump out of their eyes | N |
| To roar on the rockery stones | O |
| And the groves were blue with sailors | P |
| - | |
| Made all day until bell time | Q |
| A woman figure without fault | R |
| Straight as a young elm | S |
| Straight and tall from his crooked bones | O |
| That she might stand in the night | T |
| After the locks and chains | U |
| - | |
| All night in the unmade park | A |
| After the railings and shrubberies | U |
| The birds the grass the trees the lake | V |
| And the wild boys innocent as strawberries | U |
| Had followed the hunchback | W |
| To his kennel in the dark | A |
