Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EEEEFGFG HIHJKLKL FMFMNOPO| Your gran'ma in her youth was quite | A |
| As blithe a little maid as you | B |
| And though her hair is snowy white | A |
| Her eyes still have their maiden blue | B |
| And on her cheeks as fair as thine | C |
| Methinks a girlish blush would glow | D |
| If she recalled the valentine | C |
| She got ah many years ago | D |
| - | |
| A valorous youth loved gran'ma then | E |
| And wooed her in that auld lang syne | E |
| And first he told his secret when | E |
| He sent the maid that valentine | E |
| No perfumed page nor sheet of gold | F |
| Was that first hint of love he sent | G |
| But with the secret gran'pa told | F |
| I love you gran'ma was content | G |
| - | |
| Go ask your gran'ma if you will | H |
| If though her head be bowed and gray | I |
| If though her feeble pulse be chill | H |
| True love abideth not for aye | J |
| By that quaint portrait on the wall | K |
| That smiles upon her from above | L |
| Methinks your gran'ma can recall | K |
| The sweet divinity of love | L |
| - | |
| Dear Elsie here's no page of gold | F |
| No sheet embossed with cunning art | M |
| But here's a solemn pledge of old | F |
| I love you love with all my heart | M |
| And if in what I send you here | N |
| You read not all of love expressed | O |
| Go go to gran'ma Elsie dear | P |
| And she will tell you all the rest | O |
