Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCE F F GHGH IJK BABA| I met him down upon the pier | A |
| His eyes were wild and sad | B |
| And something in them made me fear | A |
| That he was going mad | B |

| So being of a prudent sort | C |
| I stood some distance off | D |
| And before speaking gave a short | C |
| Conciliatory cough | E |

| My power of speech is lost | H |
| But when one's hopes are black as ink | G |
| Why talking is a frost | H |

| 'You see I'm in for Math again | I |
| And certain to be ploughed | J |
| Please tell me where I could obtain | K |
| An inexpensive shroud ' | - |

| I told him where such things are had | B |
| Well made and not too dear | A |
| And feeling really very sad | B |
| I left him on the pier | A |
