| 'T was Toussaint just a year ago | A |
| Crimson and copper was the glow | A |
| Of all the woods at Fontainebleau | A |
| They peered into that ancient well | B |
| And watched the slow torch as it fell | B |
| John gave the keeper two whole sous | C |
| And Jeanne that smile with which she woos | C |
| John Brown to folly So they lose | C |
| The Paris train But never mind | D |
| All Saints are rustling in the wind | D |
| And there's an inn a crackling fire | E |
| It's 'deux cinquante' but Jeanne's desire | E |
| There's dinner candles country wine | F |
| Jeanne's lips philosophy divine | F |
| - | |
| There was a bosquet at Saint Cloud | G |
| Wherein John's picture of her grew | H |
| To be a Salon masterpiece | I |
| Till the rain fell that would not cease | I |
| Through one long alley how they raced | J |
| 'T was gold and brown and all a waste | J |
| Of matted leaves moss interlaced | J |
| Shades of mad queens and hunter kings | K |
| And thorn sharp feet of dryad things | K |
| Were company to their wanderings | K |
| Then rain and darkness on them drew | H |
| The rich folks' motors honked and flew | H |
| They hailed an old cab heaven for two | H |
| The bright Champs Elys eacute es at last | L |
| Though the cab crawled it sped too fast | L |

| Paris upspringing white and gold | M |
| Flamboyant arch and high enscrolled | M |
| War sculpture big Napoleonic | N |
| Fierce chargers angels histrionic | N |
| The royal sweep of gardened spaces | O |
| The pomp and whirl of columned Places | O |
| The Rive Gauche age old gay and gray | P |
| The impasse and the loved caf eacute | M |
| The tempting tidy little shops | Q |
| The convent walls the glimpsed tree tops | Q |
| Book stalls old men like dwarfs in plays | R |
| Talk work and Latin Quarter ways | R |

| May Robinson's the chestnut trees | S |
| Were ever crowds as gay as these | S |
| The quick pale waiters on a run | T |
| The round green tables one by one | T |
| Hidden away in amorous bowers | U |
| Lilac laburnum's golden showers | U |
| Kiss clink of glasses laughter heard | M |
| And nightingales quite undeterred | M |
| And then that last extravagance | V |
| O Jeanne a single amber glance | W |
| Will pay him Let's play millionaire | X |
| For just two hours on princely fare | X |
| At some hotel where lovers dine | F |
| Agrave deux and pledge across the wine | F |
| They find a damask breakfast room | Y |
| Where stiff silk roses range their bloom | Y |
| The garcon has a splendid way | P |
| Of bearing in grand d eacute jeuner | X |
| Then to be left alone alone | Z |
| High up above Rue Castiglione | A2 |
| Curtained away from all the rude | M |
| Rumors in silken solitude | M |
| And John her head upon your knees | S |
| Time waits for moments such as these | S |
