Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGGHIJJH KLMMNLOOHJPPH| There let thy hands be folded | A |
| Awhile in sleep's repose | B |
| The patient hands that wearied not | C |
| But earnestly and nobly wrought | D |
| In charity and faith | E |
| And let thy dear eyes close | F |
| The eyes that looked alway to God | G |
| Nor quailed beneath the chastening rod | G |
| Of sorrow | H |
| Fold thou thy hands and eyes | I |
| For just a little while | J |
| And with a smile | J |
| Dream of the morrow | H |
| - | |
| And O white voiceless flower | K |
| The dream which thou shalt dream | L |
| Should be a glimpse of heavenly things | M |
| For yonder like a seraph sings | M |
| The sweetness of a life | N |
| With faith alway its theme | L |
| While speedeth from those realms above | O |
| The messenger of that dear love | O |
| That healeth sorrow | H |
| So sleep a little while | J |
| For thou shalt wake and sing | P |
| Before thy King | P |
| When cometh the morrow | H |
