Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDE FDGDDHDH IJKLDMDM NOPODQDQ RBHBDMDM| An old frog lived in a dismal swamp | A |
| In a dismal kind of way | B |
| And all that he did whatever befell | C |
| Was to croak the livelong day | B |
| Croak croak croak | D |
| When darkness filled the air | E |
| And croak croak croak | D |
| When the skies were bright and fair | E |
| - | |
| Good Master Frog a battle is fought | F |
| And the foeman's power is broke | D |
| But he only turned a greener hue | G |
| And answered with a croak | D |
| Croak croak croak | D |
| When the clouds are dark and dun | H |
| And croak croak croak | D |
| In the blaze of the noontide sun | H |
| - | |
| Good Master Frog the forces of right | I |
| Are driving the hosts of wrong | J |
| But he gave his head an ominous shake | K |
| And croaked out Nous verrons | L |
| Croak croak croak | D |
| Till the heart is full of gloom | M |
| And croak croak croak | D |
| Till the world seems but a tomb | M |
| - | |
| To poison the cup of life | N |
| By always dreading the worst | O |
| Is to make of the earth a dungeon damp | P |
| And the happiest life accursed | O |
| Croak croak croak | D |
| When the noontide sun rides high | Q |
| And croak croak croak | D |
| Lest the night come by and by | Q |
| - | |
| Farewell to the dismal frog | R |
| Let him croak as loud as he may | B |
| He cannot blot the sun from heaven | H |
| Nor hinder the march of day | B |
| Though he croak croak croak | D |
| Till the heart is full of gloom | M |
| And croak croak croak | D |
| Till the world seems but a tomb | M |
