Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFGEHHIIJJ KKLLLAA| Lullaby Lullaby | A |
| There's a tower strong and high | A |
| Built of oak and brick and stone | B |
| Stands before a wood alone | B |
| The doors are of the oak so brown | C |
| As any ale in Oxford town | C |
| The walls are builded warm and thick | D |
| Of the old red Roman brick | D |
| The good grey stone is over all | E |
| In arch and floor of the tower tall | E |
| And maidens three are living there | F |
| All in the upper chamber fair | F |
| Hung with silver hung with pall | G |
| And stories painted on the wall | E |
| And softly goes the whirring loom | H |
| In my ladies' upper room | H |
| For they shall spin both night and day | I |
| Until the stars do pass away | I |
| But every night at evening | J |
| The window open wide they fling | J |
| And one of them says a word they know | K |
| And out as three white swans they go | K |
| And the murmuring of the woods is drowned | L |
| In the soft wings' whirring sound | L |
| As they go flying round around | L |
| Singing in swans' voices high | A |
| A lonely lovely lullaby | A |
