Rhyme Scheme: AAABAAAC DDDEFFFE GHGAIJJA KKKALLLA MMMMNNNM HHHOPPPO| The artist and the loom unseen | A |
| In textures soft as crepe de chine | A |
| Spring weaves her royal robe of green | A |
| With grasses fringed and daisies dotted | B |
| With furzy tufts like mosses fine | A |
| And showy clumps of eglantine | A |
| With dainty shrub and creeping vine | A |
| Upon the verdant fabric knotted | C |
| - | |
| Oh winter takes our love away | D |
| For ashen hues of sober gray | D |
| So when the blooming blushing May | D |
| Comes out in bodice cap and kirtle | E |
| With arbutus her corsage laced | F |
| And roses clinging to her waist | F |
| We crown her charming queen of taste | F |
| Her chaplet wreath of modest myrtle | E |
| - | |
| For eighteen centuries and more | G |
| Her fairy hands have modeled o'er | H |
| The same habiliments she wore | G |
| At her primeval coronation | A |
| And still the pattern exquisite | I |
| For every age a perfect fit | J |
| In every land the favorite | J |
| Elicits world wide admiration | A |
| - | |
| Gay butterflies of fashion you | K |
| Who wear a suit a year or two | K |
| Then agitate for something new | K |
| Look at Regina the patrician | A |
| Her cleverness is more than gold | L |
| Who so transforms from fabrics old | L |
| The things a marvel to behold | L |
| And glories in the exhibition | A |
| - | |
| Why worry for an overdress | M |
| The acme of luxuriousness | M |
| Beyond all envy to possess | M |
| Renewed as oft as lambkin fleeces | M |
| Why flutter round in pretty pique | N |
| To follow style's capricious freak | N |
| To match pongee or moire antique | N |
| And break your peace in hopeless pieces | M |
| - | |
| O mantua maker costumer | H |
| And fair robed wearer study her | H |
| And imitate the conjurer | H |
| So prettily economizing | O |
| Without demur regret or pout | P |
| Who always puts the bright side out | P |
| And never frets at all about | P |
| The world's penchant for criticizing | O |
