Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFGGHHIIJJ| Lady if you'd slumber sound | A |
| Keep your eyes upon the ground | A |
| If you'd toss and turn at night | B |
| Slip your glances left and right | B |
| Would the mornings find you gay | C |
| Never give your heart away | C |
| Would they find you pale and sad | D |
| Fling it to a whistling lad | D |
| Ah but when his pleadings burn | E |
| Will you let my words return | E |
| Will you lock your pretty lips | F |
| And deny your finger tips | F |
| Veil away your tender eyes | G |
| Just because some words were wise | G |
| If he whistles low and clear | H |
| When the insistent moon is near | H |
| And the secret stars are known | I |
| Will your heart be still your own | I |
| Just because some words were true | J |
| Lady I was told them too | J |
