Rhyme Scheme: ABA ABA ABA ABA ABA ABAA

Come hither Child and restA
This is the end of dayB
Behold the weary WestA
-
Sleep rounds with equal zestA
Man's toil and children's playB
Come hither Child and restA
-
My white bird seek thy nestA
Thy drooping head down layB
Behold the weary WestA
-
Now are the flowers confestA
Of slumber sleep as theyB
Come hither Child and restA
-
Now eve is manifestA
And homeward lies our wayB
Behold the weary WestA
-
Tired flower I upon my breastA
I would wear thee alwayB
Come hither Child and restA
Behold the weary WestA
