Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDDC EFFE GHHG AIIA JKLJ AIIA MFFM GAAG NDDN| I count my treasures o'er with care | A |
| The little toy my darling knew | B |
| A little sock of faded hue | B |
| A little lock of golden hair | A |
| - | |
| Long years ago this holy time | C |
| My little one my all to me | D |
| Sat robed in white upon my knee | D |
| And heard the merry Christmas chime | C |
| - | |
| Tell me my little golden head | E |
| If Santa Claus should come to night | F |
| What shall he bring my baby bright | F |
| What treasure for my boy I said | E |
| - | |
| And then he named this little toy | G |
| While in his round and mournful eyes | H |
| There came a look of sweet surprise | H |
| That spake his quiet trustful joy | G |
| - | |
| And as he lisped his evening prayer | A |
| He asked the boon with childish grace | I |
| Then toddling to the chimney place | I |
| He hung this little stocking there | A |
| - | |
| That night while lengthening shadows crept | J |
| I saw the white winged angels come | K |
| With singing to our lowly home | L |
| And kiss my darling as he slept | J |
| - | |
| They must have heard his little prayer | A |
| For in the morn with rapturous face | I |
| He toddled to the chimney place | I |
| And found this little treasure there | A |
| - | |
| They came again one Christmas tide | M |
| That angel host so fair and white | F |
| And singing all that glorious night | F |
| They lured my darling from my side | M |
| - | |
| A little sock a little toy | G |
| A little lock of golden hair | A |
| The Christmas music on the air | A |
| A watching for my baby boy | G |
| - | |
| But if again that angel train | N |
| And golden head come back for me | D |
| To bear me to Eternity | D |
| My watching will not be in vain | N |
