Rhyme Scheme: AABBCC DDEEFF GGHIBB JJKKLLL| A maiden once of certain age | A |
| To catch a husband did engage | A |
| But having passed the prime of life | B |
| In striving to become a wife | B |
| Without success she thought it time | C |
| To mend the follies of her prime | C |
| - | |
| Departing from the usual course | D |
| Of paint and such like for resource | D |
| With all her might this ancient maid | E |
| Beneath an oak tree knelt and prayed | E |
| Unconscious that a grave old owl | F |
| Was perched above the mousing fowl | F |
| - | |
| Oh give a husband give she cried | G |
| While yet I may become a bride | G |
| Soon will my day of grace be o'er | H |
| And then like many maids before | I |
| I'll die without an early Jove | B |
| And none to meet me there above | B |
| - | |
| Oh 'tis a fate too hard to bear | J |
| Then answer this my humble prayer | J |
| And oh a husband give to me | K |
| Just then the owl from out the tree | K |
| In deep bass tones cried Who who who | L |
| Who Lord And dost Thou ask me who | L |
| Why any one good Lord will do | L |
