Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD BEBE FGFG| 'Twas to greet the new rector I called I here | A |
| But in the arm chair I see | B |
| My old friend for long years installed here | A |
| Who palely nods to me | B |
| - | |
| The new man explains what he's planning | C |
| In a smart and cheerful tone | D |
| And I listen the while that I'm scanning | C |
| The figure behind his own | D |
| - | |
| The newcomer urges things on me | B |
| I return a vague smile thereto | E |
| The olden face gazing upon me | B |
| Just as it used to do | E |
| - | |
| And on leaving I scarcely remember | F |
| Which neighbour to day I have seen | G |
| The one carried out in September | F |
| Or him who but entered yestreen | G |
