Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEEFAGHIFJKLMNEOP| Reverend Wiley advised me not to divorce him | A |
| For the sake of the children | B |
| And Judge Somers advised him the same | C |
| So we stuck to the end of the path | D |
| But two of the children thought he was right | E |
| And two of the children thought I was right | E |
| And the two who sided with him blamed me | F |
| And the two who sided with me blamed him | A |
| And they grieved for the one they sided with | G |
| And all were torn with the guilt of judging | H |
| And tortured in soul because they could not admire | I |
| Equally him and me | F |
| Now every gardener knows that plants grown in cellars | J |
| Or under stones are twisted and yellow and weak | K |
| And no mother would let her baby suck | L |
| Diseased milk from her breast | M |
| Yet preachers and judges advise the raising of souls | N |
| Where there is no sunlight but only twilight | E |
| No warmth but only dampness and cold | O |
| Preachers and judges | P |
