| But when the pang was o'er | B |
| Sat down to wait her Master's tread | A |
| Upon the Golden Floor | C |
| - | |
| With ears full cock and anxious eye | D |
| Impatiently resigned | E |
| But ignorant that Paradise | F |
| Did not admit her kind | E |
| - | |
| Persons with Haloes Harps and Wings | G |
| Assembled and reproved | E |
| Or talked to her of Heavenly things | G |
| But Dinah never moved | E |
| - | |
| There was one step along the Stair | H |
| That led to Heaven's Gate | E |
| And till she heard it her affair | H |
| Was she explained to wait | E |
| - | |
| And she explained with flattened ear | I |
| Bared lip and milky tooth | J |
| Storming against Ithuriel's Spear | K |
| That only proved her truth | J |

| Sudden far down the Bridge of Ghosts | L |
| That anxious spirits clomb | M |

| Swifter than her own squeal she flew | E |
| Across the Glassy Sea | N |

| She refuged under Peter's Chair | H |
| And waited for her man | O |

| There spoke a Spirit out of the press | P |
| 'Said quot Have you any here | I |
| That saved a fool from drunkenness | Q |
| And a coward from his fear | K |
| - | |
| quot That turned a soul from dark to day | E |
| When other help was vain | R |
| That snatched it from Wanhope and made | E |
| A cur a man again quot | E |
| - | |
| quot Enter and look quot said Peter then | S |
| And set The Gate ajar | T |
| quot If know aught of women and men | S |
| I trow she is not far quot | E |
| - | |
| quot Neither by virtue speech nor art | E |
| Nor hope of grace to win | U |
| But godless innocence of heart | E |
| That never heard of sin | U |
| - | |
| quot Neither by beauty nor belief | V |
| Nor white example shown | W |
| Something a wanton more a thief | V |
| But most of all mine own quot | E |
| - | |
| quot Enter and look quot said Peter then | S |
| quot And send you well to speed | E |
| But for all that I know of women and men | S |
| Your riddle is hard to read quot | E |
| - | |
| Then flew Dinah from under the Chair | H |
| Into his arms she flew | E |
| And licked his face from chin to hair | H |
| And Peter passed them through | E |
