| I will not wake you dear no tears shall creep | B |
| To chill the still bed where you lie asleep | B |
| No cry no word shall break the sanctity | C |
| Of the great silence where God lets you lie | D |
| I will not tease your grave with flower or stone | E |
| You are tired my heart you shall be left alone | E |
| And even the kisses that my lips must lay | F |
| Upon the mould of the triumphant clay | F |
| Shall be so soft like those a mother lays | G |
| Upon her sleeping baby's little face | H |
| You will not feel my kisses will not hear | I |
| You are tired sleep on I will not wake you dear | J |
| But when the good day comes you will hear me cry | D |
| Ah make a little place where I can lie | D |
| And half awakened you will feel me creep | B |
| Into the folds of your familiar sleep | B |
| And draw them round us with a tender moan | E |
| How could you let me sleep so long alone | E |
