Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF BGBG| What's life but full of care and doubt | A |
| With all its fine humanities | B |
| With parasols we walk about | A |
| Long pigtails and such vanities | B |

| We plant pomegranate trees and things | C |
| And go in gardens sporting | D |
| With toys and fans of peacocks' wings | C |
| To painted ladies courting | D |

| We gather flowers of every hue | E |
| And fish in boats for fishes | F |
| Build summer houses painted blue | E |
| But life's as frail as dishes | F |

| Walking about their groves of trees | B |
| Blue bridges and blue rivers | G |
| How little thought them two Chinese | B |
| They'd both be smashed to shivers | G |
