Rhyme Scheme: AABCDEFGHAIFGJCFKCLG CCKKMLKCNDMKCFMKMFKF KOKDFFFGive me of your fruit banana | A |
Of your yellow fruit banana | A |
Growing on the tropic islands | B |
Fertile islands in the ocean | C |
I a little trick will play me | D |
Play it on the darkened staircase | E |
Where no light has late been burning | F |
Where the students walk in darkness | G |
Walk on foot perchance on shin bones | H |
Lay aside your fruit banana | A |
Quickly lay your fruit aside you | I |
For the eventime is coming | F |
When the stairs are wrapt in darkness | G |
And I've yet to waft me distant | J |
Many leagues o'er land and ocean | C |
To a famous school of learning | F |
In the land of the pale faces | K |
In the city of the mountain | C |
Thus aloud cried Tomakewaw | L |
Chief of all the imps of darkness | G |
On an island in the ocean | C |
In the wide Pacific Ocean | C |
And the tall tree shook its branches | K |
Shook with mirth its ladened branches | K |
Saying with a burst of laughter | M |
Take my fruit O Tomakewaw | L |
Then its fruit he picked with gladness | K |
Gathered it with exultation | C |
Sped across the wide Pacific | N |
Over mountain over prairie | D |
To the shores of the great river | M |
To the banks of the St Lawrence | K |
To the city of the mountain | C |
Here within the school of learning | F |
Sought he out a student's chamber | M |
Where he peeled the fruit delicious | K |
Cleft the yellow rind asunder | M |
Ate the fruit but saved the peeling | F |
And he then with quiet movements | K |
Took up the banana peeling | F |
Issued out into the darkness | K |
Noiseless glided through the passage | O |
Till he reached the darkened staircase | K |
Where upon the topmost step he | D |
Placed with care the oily peeling | F |
Placed the smooth banana peeling | F |
Later on we have The Sailing | F |
