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