Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDEFF GHGHII JKJKLM NONOHH| Her smile ineffably is sweet | A |
| Devinely she is slim | B |
| Yet oh how weary are her feet | A |
| How aches her every limb | B |
| Thank God it's near to closing time | C |
| Merciful midnight chime | C |
| - | |
| Then in her mackintosh she'll go | D |
| Up seven flights of stairs | E |
| And on her bed her body throw | D |
| Too tired to say her prayers | E |
| Yet not too sleepy to forget | F |
| Her cheap alarm to set | F |

| She dreams That lonely bank clerk boy | G |
| Who comes each day for tea | H |
| Oh how his eyes light up with joy | G |
| Her comeliness to see | H |
| And yet he is too shy to speak | I |
| Far less to touch her cheek | I |
| - | |
| He dreams If only I were King | J |
| I'd make of her my Queen | K |
| If I were laureate I'd sing | J |
| Her loveliness serene | K |
| How wistfully romance can haunt | L |
| A city restaurant | M |
| - | |
| For as I watch that pensive pair | N |
| There stirs within my heart | O |
| From Arcady an April air | N |
| That shames the sordid mart | O |
| A sense of Spring and singing rills | H |
| Love mid the daffodils | H |
