Rhyme Scheme: ABAC DEDE FGFG HIHJ E| Speak low speak little who may sing | A |
| While yonder cannon thunders boom | B |
| Watch shuddering what each day may bring | A |
| Nor 'pipe amid the crack of doom ' | C |
| - | |
| And yet the pines sing overhead | D |
| The robins by the alder pool | E |
| The bees about the garden bed | D |
| The children dancing home from school | E |
| - | |
| And ever at the loom of Birth | F |
| The mighty Mother weaves and sings | G |
| She weaves fresh robes for mangled earth | F |
| She sings fresh hopes for desperate things | G |
| - | |
| And thou too if through Nature's calm | H |
| Some strain of music touch thine ears | I |
| Accept and share that soothing balm | H |
| And sing though choked with pitying tears | J |
