| Who else made holidays of rainy days | E |
| Who told such marvels by the firelight blaze | E |
| King of misrule when Christmas frosts were hoar | C |

| Whether her little son be good or no | F |
| The Perfect Playmate will return no more | C |

| Who built the sands dug deep was never loth | G |
| Nor ever tired was strong enough for both | H |
| Home on his shoulders a small drowsy head bore | C |
| Was ever smiling The boy keeps apart | I |
| A gay young smiling father in his heart | I |
| The Perfect Playmate will return no more | C |

| No more no more Himself a boy he goes | J |

| Light on his young brown head from an open door | C |
| His youth unwithered smiling all the way | B |
| Into the land of youth the Spring of Day | B |
| The Perfect Playmate will return no more | C |
