| Importuning one wet and mild March night | B |
| We walked and talked together O her tale | C |
| Was very common thousands know it all | D |
| 'Seduced' a gentleman a baby coming | E |
| Parents that railed London the child born dead | F |
| A seamstress then one of some fifty girls | G |
| 'Taken on' a few months at a dressmaker's | G |
| In the crush of the 'season' at ten shillings a week | H |
| The fashionable people's dresses done | I |
| And they flown off these fifty extra girls | G |
| Sent to the streets that is to work that gives | G |
| Scarcely enough to buy the decent clothes | G |
| Respectable employers all demand | J |
| Or speak dismissal Well well well we know | K |
| And she 'Why I have gone on down and down | L |
| And there's the gutter look that I shall die in ' | M |
| 'My dear ' I say 'where hope of all but that | N |
| Is gone 'tis time I think life were gone too ' | M |
| She looks at me 'That I should kill myself ' | M |

| And God would punish me ' 'And will not God | P |
| Punish for this ' She pauses then whispers | G |
| 'No no He will forgive me for He knows ' | M |
| I laughed aloud 'And you ' she said 'and you | Q |
| Who are so good so noble' 'Noble Good ' | M |
| I laughed aloud the great sob in my throat | R |
| O my poor Darling O my little lost Sheep | S |
| Of this vast flock that perishes alone | T |
| Out in the pitiless desert Yet she'd speak | H |
| She'd ask me she'd entreat she'd demonstrate | U |
| O I must not say that I must believe | V |
| Who made the sea the leaves so green the sky | W |
| So big and blue and pure above it all | D |
| O my poor Darling O my little lost Sheep | S |
| Entreat no more and demonstrate no more | X |
| For I believe there is a God a God | P |
| Not in the heaven the earth or the waters no | K |
| But in the heart of Man on the dear lips | G |
| Of angel Women of heroic Men | Y |
| O hopeless Wanderer that would not stay | Z |
| 'It is too late I cannot rise again ' | M |
| O Saint of faith in love behind the veils | G |
| 'You must believe in God for you are good ' | M |
| O Sister who made holy with your kiss | G |
| Your kiss in that wet dark mild night of March | A2 |
| There in the hideous infamous London streets | G |
| My cheek and made my soul a sacred place | G |
| my poor Darling O my little lost Sheep | S |
