Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEF GHGHIJIK LMLMNONO KOKOOPOP| Oh have you forgotten those afternoons | A |
| With riot of roses and amber skies | B |
| When we thrilled to the joy of a million Junes | A |
| And I sought for your soul in the deeps of your eyes | B |
| I would love you I promised forever and aye | C |
| And I meant it too yet oh isn't it odd | D |
| When we met in the Underground to day | E |
| I addressed you as Mary instead of as Maude | F |
| - | |
| Oh don't you remember that moonlit sea | G |
| With us on a silver trail afloat | H |
| When I gracefully sank on my bended knee | G |
| At the risk of upsetting our little boat | H |
| Oh I vowed that my life was blighted then | I |
| As friendship you proffered with mournful mien | J |
| But now as I think of your children ten | I |
| I'm glad you refused me Evangeline | K |
| - | |
| Oh is that moment eternal still | L |
| When I breathed my love in your shell like ear | M |
| And you plucked at your fan as a maiden will | L |
| And you blushed so charmingly Guenivere | M |
| Like a worshiper at your feet I sat | N |
| For a year and a day you made me mad | O |
| But now alas you are forty fat | N |
| And I think What a lucky escape I had | O |
| - | |
| Oh maidens I've set in a sacred shrine | K |
| Oh Rosamond Molly and Mignonette | O |
| I've deemed you in turn the most divine | K |
| In turn you've broken my heart and yet | O |
| It's easily mended What's past is past | O |
| To day on Lucy I'm going to call | P |
| For I'm sure that I know true love at last | O |
| And She is the fairest girl of all | P |
