Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEDFGFFHH IJKLMN OPQRPP PSTUVP EDRWWWXWWW| I know some lonely houses off the road | A |
| A robber 'd like the look of | B |
| Wooden barred | C |
| And windows hanging low | D |
| Inviting to | E |
| A portico | D |
| Where two could creep | F |
| One hand the tools | G |
| The other peep | F |
| To make sure all's asleep | F |
| Old fashioned eyes | H |
| Not easy to surprise | H |

| How orderly the kitchen 'd look by night | I |
| With just a clock | J |
| But they could gag the tick | K |
| And mice won't bark | L |
| And so the walls don't tell | M |
| None will | N |

| A pair of spectacles ajar just stir | O |
| An almanac's aware | P |
| Was it the mat winked | Q |
| Or a nervous star | R |
| The moon slides down the stair | P |
| To see who's there | P |

| There's plunder where | P |
| Tankard or spoon | S |
| Earring or stone | T |
| A watch some ancient brooch | U |
| To match the grandmamma | V |
| Staid sleeping there | P |

| Day rattles too | E |
| Stealth's slow | D |
| The sun has got as far | R |
| As the third sycamore | W |
| Screams chanticleer | W |
| Who's there | W |
| And echoes trains away | X |
| Sneer Where | W |
| While the old couple just astir | W |
| Fancy the sunrise left the door ajar | W |
