| Mechanical improvidently wise | B |
| Servant of Fate | A |
| He has not understood the little cries | B |
| And foreign conversations of the small | C |
| Delightful creatures that have followed him | D |
| Not far behind | E |
| Has failed to hear the sympathetic call | C |
| Of Crockery and Cutlery those kind | E |
| Reposeful Teraphim | D |
| Of his domestic happiness the Stool | F |
| He sat on or the Door he entered through | G |
| He has not thanked them overbearing fool | F |
| What is he coming to | G |
| - | |
| But you should listen to the talk of these | H |
| Honest they are and patient they have kept | I |
| Served him without his Thank you or his Please | H |
| I often heard | J |
| The gentle Bed a sigh between each word | J |
| Murmuring before I slept | I |
| The Candle as I blew it cried aloud | K |
| Then bowed | K |
| And in a smoky argument | L |
| Into the darkness went | M |
| - | |
| The Kettle puffed a tentacle of breath | N |
| ' Pooh I have boiled his water I don't know | O |
| Why and he always says I boil too slow | O |
| He never calls me 'Sukie dear ' and oh | O |
| I wonder why I squander my desire | P |
| Sitting submissive on his fire ' | - |
| - | |
| Now the old Copper Basin suddenly | Q |
| Rattled and tumbled from the shelf | R |
| Bumping and crying ' I can fall by myself | R |
| Without a woman's hand | S |
| To patronize and coax and flatter me | Q |
| I understand | S |
| The lean and poise of gravitable land ' | - |
| It gave a raucous and tumultuous shout | T |
| Twisted itself convulsively about | T |
| Rested upon the foor and while I stare | U |
| It stares and grins at me | Q |
| - | |
| The old impetuous Gas above my head | V |
| Begins irascibly to flare and fret | W |
| Wheezing into its epileptic jet | W |
| Reminding me I ought to go to bed | V |
| - | |
| The Rafters creak an Empty Cupboard door | X |
| Swings open now a wild Plank of the floor | X |
| Breaks from its joist and leaps behind my foot | Y |
| Down from the chimney half a pound of Soot | Y |
| Tumbles and lies and shakes itself again | Z |
| The Putty cracks against hte window pane | A2 |
| A piece of Paper in the basket shoves | B2 |
| Another piece and toward the bottom moves | C2 |
| My independent Pencil while I write | D2 |
| Breaks at the point the ruminating Clock | E2 |
| Stirs all its body and begins to rock | E2 |
| Warning the waiting presence of the Night | D2 |
| Strikes the dead hour and tumbles to the plain | A2 |
| Ticking of ordinary work again | Z |
| - | |
| You do well to remind me and I praise | F2 |
| Your strangely individual foreign ways | F2 |
| You call me from myself to recognize | B |
| Companionship in your unselfish eyes | B |
| I want your dear acquaintances although | O |
| I pass you arrogantly over throw | O |
| Your lovely sounds and squander them along | G2 |
| My busy days I 'll do you no more wrong | G2 |
| - | |
| Purr for me Sukie like a faithful cat | H2 |
| You my well trampled Boots and you my Hat | H2 |
| Remain my friends I feel though I don't speak | I2 |
| Your touch grow kindlier from week to week | I2 |
| It well becomes our mutual happiness | J2 |
| To go toward the same end more or less | K2 |
| There is not much dissimilarity | Q |
| Not much to choose I know it well in fine | L2 |
| Between the purposes of you and me | Q |
| And your eventual Rubbish Heap and mine | L2 |
