Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGH HFHF IJIK LBLB MBMB| I sat by the fire and watched it blaze | A |
| And dreamed that she wrote me a letter | B |
| And for that dream to the end of my days | A |
| To Fancy I owe myself debtor | B |
| - | |
| Next day there came the postman's knock | C |
| The morning was bright and sunny | D |
| And showed me a sheaf of circulars stock | C |
| Attempts to get hold of my money | D |
| - | |
| 'Mid correspondence of this dull kind | E |
| A dainty notelet lay hidden | F |
| It seemed as though it had half a mind | E |
| To consider itself forbidden | F |

| The writing was like herself complete | G |
| With a touch of her queenly bearing | H |
| So Venus wrote when she ordered in Crete | G |
| Her doves to take her an airing | H |

| Inside it was just as promising | H |
| 'Twas a pressing invitation | F |
| To dine at her house to morrow and bring | H |
| My book for her approbation | F |
| - | |
| For I have published be it confessed | I |
| A little volume of verses | J |
| And in the volume whatever is best | I |
| The praise of herself rehearses | K |
| - | |
| I sit by the fire and again I dream | L |
| A happier dream than ever | B |
| I see her beautiful eyes soft gleam | L |
| As she murmurs How lovely how clever | B |
| - | |
| Her criticism may be commonplace | M |
| But who can be angry after | B |
| Now sweet with pity he marks her face | M |
| Now bright with impulsive laughter | B |
