Rhyme Scheme: AABAAACADACAEFGFHFIJ AJKJIJLJMJ| Our Bog is dood our Bog is dood | A |
| They lisped in accents mild | A |
| But when I asked them to explain | B |
| They grew a little wild | A |
| How do you know your Bog is dood | A |
| My darling little child | A |
| We know because we wish it so | C |
| That is enough they cried | A |
| And straight within each infant eye | D |
| Stood up the flame of pride | A |
| And if you do not think it so | C |
| You shall be crucified | A |
| Then tell me darling little ones | E |
| What's dood suppose Bog is | F |
| Just what we think the answer came | G |
| Just what we think it is | F |
| They bowed their heads Our Bog is ours | H |
| And we are wholly his | F |
| But when they raised them up again | I |
| They had forgotten me | J |
| Each one upon each other glared | A |
| In pride and misery | J |
| For what was dood and what their Bog | K |
| They never could agree | J |
| Oh sweet it was to leave them then | I |
| And sweeter not to see | J |
| And sweetest of all to walk alone | L |
| Beside the encroaching sea | J |
| The sea that soon should drown them all | M |
| That never yet drowned me | J |
