Rhyme Scheme: ABACDD EFEFGG HIHIJJ KILIMM NONOPQ| Here is my Garret up five flights of stairs | A |
| Here's where I deal in dreams and ply in fancies | B |
| Here is the wonder shop of all my wares | A |
| My sounding sonnets and my red romances | C |
| Here's where I challenge Fate and ring my rhymes | D |
| And grope at glory aye and starve at times | D |
| - | |
| Here is my Stronghold stout of heart am I | E |
| Greeting each dawn as songful as a linnet | F |
| And when at night on yon poor bed I lie | E |
| Blessing the world and every soul that's in it | F |
| Here's where I thank the Lord no shadow bars | G |
| My skylight's vision of the valiant stars | G |
| - | |
| Here is my Palace tapestried with dreams | H |
| Ah though to night ten sous are all my treasure | I |
| While in my gaze immortal beauty gleams | H |
| Am I not dowered with wealth beyond all measure | I |
| Though in my ragged coat my songs I sing | J |
| King of my soul I envy not the king | J |
| - | |
| Here is my Haven it's so quiet here | K |
| Only the scratch of pen the candle's flutter | I |
| Shabby and bare and small but O how dear | L |
| Mark you my table with my work a clutter | I |
| My shelf of tattered books along the wall | M |
| My bed my broken chair that's nearly all | M |
| - | |
| Only four faded walls yet mine all mine | N |
| Oh you fine folks a pauper scorns your pity | O |
| Look where above me stars of rapture shine | N |
| See where below me gleams the siren city | O |
| Am I not rich a millionaire no less | P |
| If wealth be told in terms of Happiness | Q |
