Rhyme Scheme: ABABB CDCDD EFEFF| Hunger points a bony finger | A |
| To the workhouse on the hill | B |
| But the little children linger | A |
| While there's flowers to gather still | B |
| For my sunny window sill | B |
| - | |
| In my hands I take their faces | C |
| Smiling to my smiles they run | D |
| Would that I could take their places | C |
| Where the murky bye ways shun | D |
| The benedictions of the sun | D |

| How they laugh and sing returning | E |
| Lightly on their secret way | F |
| While I listen in my yearning | E |
| Their laughter fills the windy day | F |
| With gladness youth and May | F |
