Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFEGEAEHIJIKLML| Ah little mill you're rumbling still | A |
| Ah sunset flecked with gold | B |
| Ah deepening tinge ah purple fringe | C |
| Of lilac as of old | B |
| Ah hawthorn hedge ah light won pledge | D |
| Of kisses warm and plenty | E |
| When she was true and twenty two | F |
| And I was two and twenty | E |
| I don't know how she broke her vow | G |
| She said that I was horty | E |
| And there's the mill a goin' still | A |
| And I am five and forty | E |
| And sooth to tell 'twas just as well | H |
| Her aitches were uncertain | I |
| Her ways though nice not point device | J |
| Her father liked his Burton | I |
| But there's a place you cannot trace | K |
| So spare the fond endeavour | L |
| A cloudless sky where Kate and I | M |
| Are twenty two for ever | L |
