| In reel in waltz in lancer's maze | B |
| She moved with pretty air of grace | C |
| And all the ball room's brilliant blaze | B |

| I'll ne'er forget when first I met her | E |
| And saw the dainty slippered feet | D |
| Glide o'er the floor at Linnietta | D |

| O dreams of youth and beauty rare | F |
| What rose hued visions thou canst paint | D |
| But none in loveliness compare | F |
| With her who seemed Love's patron saint | D |
| Her pictured image haunts the mind | D |
| And oh I never can forget her | E |
| Nor rarer pleasure hope to find | D |
| Than dance with her at Linnietta | D |

| Arrayed in softly flowing gown | G |
| The love light flashing from her eyes | H |
| With cheeks aglow like roses blown | I |
| Beneath the ardent summer skies | H |
| No artist hand could fitly trace | C |
| The wondrous charm that did beset her | E |
| When tripping with a fairy's grace | C |
| O'er the waxen floor at Linnietta | D |
