Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNHOPQDI RSGH| The boat of the boatman Madhu is moored at the wharf of Rajgunj | A |
| It is uselessly laden with jute and has been lying there idle | B |
| for ever so long | C |
| If he would only lend me his boat I should man her with a | D |

| the land of a strange king | Q |
| We shall pass the ford of Tirpurni and leave behind us the | D |
| desert of Tepantar | I |
| When we come back it will be getting dark and I shall tell | R |
| you of all that we have seen | S |
| I shall cross the seven seas and the thirteen rivers of | G |
| fairyland | H |
