Rhyme Scheme: ABA CDC EFE GHI| We shall come tomorrow morning who were not to have her love | A |
| We shall bring no face of envy but a gift of praise and lilies | B |
| To the stately ceremonial we are not the heroes of | A |

| Let the sisters now attend her who are red eyed who are wroth | C |
| They were younger she was finer for they wearied of the waiting | D |
| And they married them to merchants being unbelievers both | C |

| I was dapper when I dangled in my pepper and salt | E |
| We were only local beauties and we beautifully trusted | F |
| If the proud one had to tarry one would have her by default | E |

| But right across the threshold has her grizzled Baron come | G |
| Let them robe her Bride and Princess who ll go down a leafy archway | H |
| And seal her to the Stranger for his castle in the gloom | I |
