| One kiss she gave her mother | C |
| Only a small one gave she to her daddy | D |
| Who would have kissed each curl of his shining baby | D |

| - | |
| It was a transmogrifying bee | D |
| Came droning down on Chucky s old bald head | G |
| And sat and put the poison It scarcely bled | G |

| So there was Janet | J |
| Kneeling on the wet grass crying her brown hen | B |
| Translated far beyond the daughters of men | B |
| To rise and walk upon it | K |

| - | |
| And weeping fast as she had breath | L |
| Janet implored us Wake her from her sleep | M |
| And would not be instructed in how deep | M |
| Was the forgetful kingdom of death | L |
