Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDD EEDDFFDD GGBBHHDD| I have seen full many a sight | A |
| Born of day or drawn by night | A |
| Sunlight on a silver stream | B |
| Golden lilies all a dream | B |
| Lofty mountains bold and proud | C |
| Veiled beneath the lacelike cloud | C |
| But no lovely sight I know | D |
| Equals Dinah kneading dough | D |
| - | |
| Brown arms buried elbow deep | E |
| Their domestic rhythm keep | E |
| As with steady sweep they go | D |
| Through the gently yielding dough | D |
| Maids may vaunt their finer charms | F |
| Naught to me like Dinah's arms | F |
| Girls may draw or paint or sew | D |
| I love Dinah kneading dough | D |
| - | |
| Eyes of jet and teeth of pearl | G |
| Hair some say too tight a curl | G |
| But the dainty maid I deem | B |
| Very near perfection's dream | B |
| Swift she works and only flings | H |
| Me a glance the least of things | H |
| And I wonder does she know | D |
| That my heart is in the dough | D |
