Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCEFEGFG| my girl's tall with hard long eyes | A |
| as she stands with her long hard hands keeping | B |
| silence on her dress good for sleeping | B |
| is her long hard body filled with surprise | A |
| like a white shocking wire when she smiles | C |
| a hard long smile it sometimes makes | D |
| gaily go clean through me tickling aches | D |

| my impatience to an edge my girl's tall | E |
| and taut with thin legs just like a vine | F |
| that's spent all of its life on a garden wall | E |
| and is going to die When we grimly go to bed | G |
| with these legs she begins to heave and twine | F |
| about me and to kiss my face and head | G |
