| I was running with joy on the Demon's trail | B |

| It was just as the light was beginning to fail | B |
| That I suddenly head all I needed to hear | D |
| It has lasted me many and many a year | E |

| The sound was behind me instead of before | F |
| A sleepy sound but mocking half | G |
| As one who utterly couldn't care | H |
| The Demon arose from his wallow to laugh | G |
| Brushing the dirt from his eye as he went | I |
| And well I knew what the Demon meant | I |
| - | |
| I shall not forget how his laugh rang out | J |
| I felt as a fool to have been so caught | K |
| And checked my steps to make pretense | L |
| I was something among the leaves I sought | M |
| Though doubtful whether he stayed to see | N |
| Thereafter I sat me against a tree | N |
