Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDEFGGHHIIJKLLMM NNOOPPQRPPSS| Shepherds all and maidens fair | A |
| Fold your flocks up for the air | A |
| 'Gins to thicken and the sun | B |
| Already his great course hath run | B |
| See the dew drops how they kiss | C |
| Every little flower that is | D |
| Hanging on their velvet heads | E |
| Like a string of crystal beads | F |
| See the heavy clouds low falling | G |
| And bright Hesperus down calling | G |
| The dead night from under ground | H |
| At whose rising mists unsound | H |
| Damps and vapours fly apace | I |
| And hover o'er the smiling face | I |
| Of these pastures where they come | J |
| Striking dead both bud and bloom | K |
| Therefore from such danger lock | L |
| Every one his loved flock | L |
| And let your dogs lie loose without | M |
| Lest the wolf come as a scout | M |
| From the mountain and ere day | N |
| Bear a lamb or kid away | N |
| Or the crafty thievish fox | O |
| Break upon your simple flocks | O |
| To secure yourself from these | P |
| Be not too secure in ease | P |
| So shall you good shepherds prove | Q |
| And deserve your master's love | R |
| Now good night may sweetest slumbers | P |
| And soft silence fall in numbers | P |
| On your eyelids so farewell | S |
| Thus I end my evening knell | S |
