| Conrad Conrad aren't you old | B |
| To sit so late in your mouldy garden | C |
| And I think Conrad knows it well | D |
| Nursing his knees too rheumy and cold | B |
| To warm the wraith of a Forest of Arden | C |

| Neuralgia in the back of his neck | E |
| His lungs filling with such miasma | F |
| His feet dipping in leafage and muck | G |
| Conrad you've forgotten asthma | F |
| - | |
| Conrad's house has thick red walls | H |
| The log on Conrad's hearth is blazing | I |
| Slippers and pipe and tea are served | J |
| Butter and toast are meant for pleasing | I |
| Still Conrad's back is not uncurved | J |
| And here's an autumn on him teasing | I |
| - | |
| Autumn days in our section | C |
| Are the most used up thing on earth | K |
| Or in the waters under the earth | K |
| Having no more color nor predilection | C |
| Than cornstalks too wet for the fire | L |
| A ribbon rotting on the byre | L |
| A man's face as weathered as straw | L |
| By the summer's flare and winter's flaw | L |
