Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDEFF GH GHII JKJKLL| Small is my secret let it pass | A |
| Small in your life the share I had | B |
| Who sat beside you in the class | A |
| Awed by the bright superior lad | B |
| Whom yet with hot and eager face | C |
| I prompted when he missed his place | C |
| - | |
| For you the call came swift and soon | D |
| But sometimes in your holidays | E |
| You meet me trudging home at noon | D |
| To dinner through the dusty ways | E |
| And recognized and with a nod | F |
| Passed on but never guessed thank God | F |
| - | |
| Truly our ways were separate | G |
| I bent myself to hoe and drill | H |
| - | |
| Yea with an honest man to mate | G |
| Fulfilling God Almighty's will | H |
| And bore him children But my prayers | I |
| Were yours and only after theirs | I |
| - | |
| While you still loftier more remote | J |
| You sprang from stair to stair of fame | K |
| And you've a riband on your coat | J |
| And you've a title to your name | K |
| But have you yet a star to shine | L |
| Above your bed as I o'er mine | L |
