| - | |
| One day she asked her father | D |
| To give her a garden plot | E |
| To plant and tend and reap herself | F |
| And he said 'Why not ' | - |
| - | |
| In casting about for a corner | D |
| He thought of an idle bit | G |
| Of walled off ground where a shop had stood | H |
| And he said 'Just it ' | - |

| She says 'I know | O |
| - | |
| 'It's as when I was a farmer ' | - |
| Oh never by way of advice | Z |
