Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDEEFFGHGHGHFIIJ JJJKK FFGHGHGHF| DAY has fled to the west afar | A |
| Where no shadows or sorrows are | A |
| O'er earth's radiant western rim | B |
| God has gathered the day to him | B |
| Hush the river of night is here | C |
| Flowing silently cool and clear | D |
| With its mystical thoughts that throng | E |
| And its silences deep as song | E |
| Babe of my bosom sleep | F |
| Tender sweet blossom sleep | F |
| Hearts may ache | G |
| While the long hours go creeping | H |
| Hearts may break | G |
| While my baby is sleeping | H |
| Never wake | G |
| Though thy mother is weeping | H |
| Babe of my bosom sleep | F |
| Sleep the silence is all around | I |
| Save the sighings that are not sound | I |
| Where the wind in the branches weaves | J |
| Mystic melodies through the leaves | J |
| Or the far away murmurings | J |
| Like the stir of an angel's wings | J |
| Only night is about us now | K |
| Child the earth is as tired as thou | K |

| Babe of my bosom sleep | F |
| Tender sweet blossom sleep | F |
| Hearts may ache | G |
| While the long hours go creeping | H |
| Hearts may break | G |
| While my baby is sleeping | H |
| Never wake | G |
| Though thy mother is weeping | H |
| Babe of my bosom sleep | F |
