| WHEN my young Soul went first to ride | |
| And take the air, | |
| I stitched a gown of finest words | |
| For her to wear, | |
| Lacy white, and ribbon-tied | 5 |
| With doting care. | |
| |
| When next my Soul fared out, she wore | |
| Plain garb and grey; | |
| Close-buttoned from her chin to feet | |
| She rode away; | 10 |
| Behind a double-bolted door | |
| Her finery lay. | |
| |
| Now, when my Soul rides out, I fold | |
| With strictest care | |
| Each slightest garment stern away, | 15 |
| And loose her hair; | |
| Godiva-shy, Godiva-bold, | |
She takes the air.
