Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CCCC DADA EFEF AGAG ACAF| Now from the dust of half forgotten things | A |
| You rise to haunt me at the year's Spring cleaning | B |
| And bring to memory dim imaginings | A |
| Of mystic meaning | B |
| - | |
| No old time potter handled you I ween | C |
| Nor yet were you of gold or silver molten | C |
| No Derby stamp nor Worcester can be seen | C |
| Nor Royal Doulton | C |
| - | |
| You never stood to grace the princely board | D |
| Of monarchs in some Oriental palace | A |
| Your lid is chipped your chubby side is scored | D |
| As if in malice | A |
| - | |
| I hesitate to say it but your spout | E |
| Is with unhandsome rivets held together | F |
| Mute witnesses of treatment meted out | E |
| In regions nether | F |
| - | |
| O patient sufferer of many bumps | A |
| I ask it gently shall the dustbin hold you | G |
| And will the dust heap with its cabbage stumps | A |
| At last enfold you | G |
| - | |
| It ought And yet with gentle hands I place | A |
| You with my priceless Delft and Dresden china | C |
| For sake of one who loved your homely face | A |
| In days diviner | F |
