| Sit together building blocks | A |

| Age and Youth are reconciled | C |
| And with sympathetic glee | D |
| Build their castles fair to see | D |

| When I grow to be a man | E |
| So the wee one's prattle ran | E |
| I shall build a castle so | F |

| There a soldier guard shall stand | G |
| And the tower shall be so high | H |
| Folks will wonder by and by | H |

| Shuffle Shoon quoth Yes I know | F |
| Thus I builded long ago | F |
| Here a gate and there a wall | I |
| Here a window there a door | J |
| Here a steeple wondrous tall | I |
| Riseth ever more and more | J |
| But the years have leveled low | F |
| What I builded long ago | F |
| - | |
| So they gossip at their play | B |
| Heedless of the fleeting day | B |
| One speaks of the Long Ago | F |
| Where his dead hopes buried lie | H |
| One with chubby cheeks aglow | F |
| Prattleth of the By and By | H |
| Side by side they build their blocks | A |
| Shuffle Shoon and Amber Locks | A |
