Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDED FGFH IJIJ| From the regions of the north | A |
| Where the waters now are frozen | B |
| Towards the south they issue forth | A |
| A flock of wild geese of four dozen | B |
| - | |
| But when they flew o'er the river Thames | C |
| They swooped down to take a dive | D |
| But sport with shot gun at them aims | E |
| And one at least did not survive | D |
| - | |
| And he now says it tasted fine | F |
| And that it was both fat and big | G |
| A hungry man did on it dine | F |
| Satisfied with just one leg | H |
| - | |
| He was sorry fowl to kill | I |
| But they awoke him from his slumber | J |
| The air with cackle they did fill | I |
| And thus they lost one of their number | J |
