Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEGHH| We came at last alas I see it yet | A |
| With its open windows on the upper floor | B |
| To a certain house still stirring with lights set | A |
| And just a chink left open of the door | B |
| Here my companion stopped and bade me in | C |
| Her dressmaker's she said And I who heard | D |
| A sound of women's voices from within | C |
| Shrank back alarmed and ready at a word | D |
| From any damsel stoutly to deny | E |
| But Madame Blanche '' she said to ease my fears | F |
| Is a good soul and far too wise to pry | E |
| Or fancy evil of her customers | G |
| At any hour of the night they choose to come | H |
| Much less of me '' And so I followed dumb | H |
