Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGH IBIB FJFJ| Of all the waltzes the great Strauss wrote | A |
| Mad with melody rhythm rife | B |
| From the very first to the final note | A |

| It stirs my blood to my finger ends | C |
| Thrills me and fills me with vague unrest | D |
| And all that is sweetest and saddest blends | C |
| Together within my breast | D |

| And set our thoughts to rhyme | F |

| It brings back that Winter of mad delights | G |
| Of leaping pulses and tripping feet | H |
| And those languid moon washed Summer nights | G |
| When we heard the band in the street | H |

| It brings back rapture and glee and glow | I |
| It brings back passion and pain and strife | B |
| And so of all the waltzes I know | I |
| Give me the Artist's Life | B |

| For it is so full of the dear old time | F |
| So full of the dear old friends I knew | J |
| And under its rhythm and lilt and rhyme | F |
| I am always finding you | J |
