Rhyme Scheme: AABBBAAACCCAAADDDAAA EEEAAAFFA| Hands Gentle Hands | A |
| When the Field at covert stands | A |
| When your four rear old is sweating | B |
| Foamed and fidgety and fretting | B |
| As a stray hound jumps the netting | B |
| You can steady him and soothe him with your Hands | A |
| Hands Clever Hands | A |
| When your tiring hunter lands | A |
| Over wall or ditch or double | C |
| With his noseband in the stubble | C |
| That's the moment you're in trouble | C |
| If you have not got the saving gift of Hands | A |
| Hands Steady Hands | A |
| When your reins seem useless bands | A |
| With a mad brute going faster | D |
| And a toss up which is master | D |
| You may still avoid disaster | D |
| If Providence has given to you Hands | A |
| Hands Talking Hands | A |
| At the fence below the Stands | A |
| When you call on him to lead them | E |
| That's the moment when you need them | E |
| That's the time a horse will heed them | E |
| As you bring him up and help him with your Hands | A |
| Hands Horseman's Hands | A |
| When the stooping fairy stands | A |
| At the cradle of a baby | F |
| She has richer gifts it may be | F |
| But she never brought a better one than Hands | A |
