Rhyme Scheme: ABBCCDDCCBBCEEEC| 'If I were dead you'd sometimes say Poor Child ' | A |
| The dear lips quiver'd as they spake | B |
| And the tears brake | B |
| From eyes which not to grieve me brightly smiled | C |
| Poor Child poor Child | C |
| I seem to hear your laugh your talk your song | D |
| It is not true that Love will do no wrong | D |
| Poor Child | C |
| And did you think when you so cried and smiled | C |
| How I in lonely nights should lie awake | B |
| And of those words your full avengers make | B |
| Poor Child poor Child | C |
| And now unless it be | E |
| That sweet amends thrice told are come to thee | E |
| O God have Thou no mercy upon me | E |
| Poor Child | C |
