Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFE GHIHJKLK MNONPQRQ STUTVWXW| Calm as that moonbeam on the wall | A |
| Sleep broods on baby's eyes | B |
| Arms hush'd and still but pulsing quick | C |
| Enfold him as he lies | B |
| My brain is full of thronging thoughts | D |
| Strange passions thrill my breast | E |
| My heart aches with a load of love | F |
| That will not let me rest | E |
| - | |
| The dim years stand about my bed | G |
| They neither smile nor weep | H |
| Like softest kisses on my face | I |
| The little fingers creep | H |
| I hear slow footfalls in the night | J |
| Of fates upon his track | K |
| O love I cannot let you go | L |
| I cannot keep you back | K |
| - | |
| Lord let him shelter in my arms | M |
| Or take us both to Thine | N |
| Or if a troublous life must come | O |
| Make all the trouble mine | N |
| Or let thy sharp swords pierce my heart | P |
| To blunt them for the child | Q |
| What care I Lord for stain and shame | R |
| So he keep undefiled | Q |
| - | |
| Nay Lord I know not what I ask | S |
| I know not how to pray | T |
| Hear Thou the crying mother soul | U |
| And not the words I say | T |
| Do Thou what seemeth good to Thee | V |
| So he be spared from sin | W |
| And oh if love can aught avail | X |
| Let mine be counted in | W |
