Rhyme Scheme: AABAACDCEFGFFBABAHIJ FAEAABABAIGIKLKLFBKB FBIB| Poor little Lucy | A |
| By some mischance | A |
| Lost her shoe | B |
| As she did dance | A |
| 'Twas not on the stairs | A |
| Not in the hall | C |
| Not where they sat | D |
| At supper at all | C |
| She looked in the garden | E |
| But there it was not | F |
| Henhouse or kennel | G |
| Or high dovecote | F |
| Dairy and meadow | F |
| And wild woods through | B |
| Showed not a trace | A |
| Of Lucy's shoe | B |
| Bird nor bunny | A |
| Nor glimmering moon | H |
| Breathed a whisper | I |
| Of where 'twas gone | J |
| It was cried and cried | F |
| Oyez and Oyez | A |
| In French Dutch Latin | E |
| And Portuguese | A |
| Ships the dark seas | A |
| Went plunging through | B |
| But none brought news | A |
| Of Lucy's shoe | B |
| And still she patters | A |
| In silk and leather | I |
| O'er snow sand shingle | G |
| In every weather | I |
| Spain and Africa | K |
| Hindustan | L |
| Java China | K |
| And lamped Japan | L |
| Plain and desert | F |
| She hops hops through | B |
| Pernambuco | K |
| To gold Peru | B |
| Mountain and forest | F |
| And river too | B |
| All the world over | I |
| For her lost shoe | B |
