I	A
	-
She sate upon her Dobie	B
To watch the Evening Star	C
And all the Punkahs as they passed	D
Cried 'My how fair you are '	-
Around her bower with quivering leaves	E
The tall Kamsamahs grew	F
And Kitmutgars in wild festoons	E
Hung down from Tchokis blue	F
	-
	-
II	A
	-
Below her home the river rolled	G
With soft meloobious sound	H
Where golden finned Chuprassies swam	I
In myriads circling round	H
Above on talles trees remote	J
Green Ayahs perched alone	K
And all night long the Mussak moan'd	L
Its melancholy tone	K
	-
	-
III	A
	-
And where the purple Nullahs threw	F
Their branches far and wide	M
And silvery Goreewallahs flew	F
In silence side by side	M
The little Bheesties' twittering cry	A
Rose on the fragrant air	N
And oft the angry Jampan howled	O
Deep in his hateful lair	N
	-
	-
IV	-
	-
She sate upon her Dobie	B
She heard the Nimmak hum	P
When all at once a cry arose	E
'The Cummerbund is come '	-
In vain she fled with open jaws	E
The angry monster followed	Q
And so before assistence came	R
That Lady Fair was swallowed	Q
	-
	-
V	B
	-
They sought in vain for even a bone	K
Respectfully to bury	B
They said 'Hers was a dreadful fate '	-
And Echo answered 'Very '	-
They nailed her Dobie to the wall	S
Where last her form was seen	T
And underneath they wrote these words	E
In yellow blue and green	T
	-
Beware ye Fair Ye Fair beware	N
Nor sit out late at night	U
Lest horrid Cummerbunds should come	P
And swallow you outright	U
