| A baby's eyes ere speech begin | D |
| Ere lips learn words or sighs | E |
| Bless all things bright enough to win | D |
| A baby's eyes | E |
| Love while the sweet thing laughs and lies | E |
| And sleep flows out and in | D |
| Sees perfect in them Paradise | F |
| Their glance might cast out pain and sin | D |
| Their speech make dumb the wise | E |
| By mute glad godhead felt within | D |
| A baby's eyes | E |
