Rhyme Scheme: AABCBCDD DDEAEAAA FFGAGADD| There are two stars in yonder steeps | A |
| That watch the baby while he sleeps | A |
| But while the baby is awake | B |
| And singing gayly all day long | C |
| The little stars their slumbers take | B |
| Lulled by the music of his song | C |
| So sleep dear tired baby sleep | D |
| While little stars their vigils keep | D |
| - | |
| Beside his loving mother sheep | D |
| A little lambkin is asleep | D |
| What does he know of midnight gloom | E |
| He sleeps and in his quiet dreams | A |
| He thinks he plucks the clover bloom | E |
| And drinks at cooling purling streams | A |
| And those same stars the baby knows | A |
| Sing softly to the lamb's repose | A |
| - | |
| Sleep little lamb sleep little child | F |
| The stars are dim the night is wild | F |
| But o'er the cot and o'er the lea | G |
| A sleepless eye forever beams | A |
| A shepherd watches over thee | G |
| In all thy little baby dreams | A |
| The shepherd loves his tiny sheep | D |
| Sleep precious little lambkin sleep | D |
