to my dear friend, meta rogers.
My "froggies" green can croak their song,
Midst waters gently murmuring on,
       At Iffey!

And so my dear, I think 'tis time
That I should end my "froggie" rhyme
       At Iffley!

The day has closed, no twilight beams,
I'll go to bed and sweetly dream
       Of Iffley!

I have no fear to be awoke
By echo of a tuneful croak
       From Iffley!

And, Meta, now the stars are bright
I'll bid my frogs a warm Good night!
       For Iffley!
