Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEAECFGFHIGIJKLK MIGI| Oh Editor Editor | A |
| Awful and grand | B |
| Who holdest our fate | C |
| In the palm of thy hand | B |
| Dost ever reflect | D |
| How one day thy ghost | E |
| To an Editor awf'ler | A |
| And grander will post | E |
| Before him a great | C |
| Golden scroll is spread wide | F |
| And a bottomless waste basket | G |
| Yawns at his side | F |
| With a swift searching glance | H |
| He reads through thy soul | I |
| Then he looks at the basket | G |
| Then looks at the scroll | I |
| He purses his lips | J |
| And nibbles his pen | K |
| And frowns for one long | L |
| Awful moment and then | K |
| Oh Editor think if thy | M |
| Poor crumpled soul | I |
| Fall into the basket | G |
| And not in the scroll | I |
