En l'an trentiesme do mon aageA
Que toutes mes hontes j'ay beuesB

-
Pipit sate upright in her chairC
Some distance from where I was sittingD
Views of the Oxford CollegesB
Lay on the table with the knittingD
-
Daguerreotypes and silhouettesB
Her grandfather and great great auntsB
Supported on the mantelpieceB
An Invitation to the DanceB

-
I shall not want Honour in HeavenE
For I shall meet Sir Philip SidneyF
And have talk with CoriolanusB
And other heroes of that kidneyF
-
I shall not want Capital in HeavenE
For I shall meet Sir Alfred MondG
We two shall lie together laptG
In a five per cent Exchequer BondG
-
I shall not want Society in HeavenE
Lucretia Borgia shall be my BrideG
Her anecdotes will be more amusingD
Than Pipit's experience could provideG
-
I shall not want Pipit in HeavenE
Madame Blavatsky will instruct meF
In the Seven Sacred TrancesB
Piccarda de Donati will conduct meF
-
-
-
But where is the penny world I boughtG
To eat with Pipit behind the screenH
The red eyed scavengers are creepingD
From Kentish Town and Golder's GreenH
-
Where are the eagles and the trumpetsB
-
Buried beneath some snow deep AlpsB
Over buttered scones and crumpetsB
Weeping weeping multitudesB
Droop in a hundred A B C 'sB
