Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEEEB ABABFDFDEEEB ABABGAGAAAAB| Watchman watchman what of the night | A |
| What of the night to tell | B |
| The heavens are dark and never a light | A |
| But the far off flicker of Hell | B |
| But the steed is in the stall | C |
| Unsleeping | D |
| And the warder on the wall | C |
| Watch keeping | D |
| And the granary is stored | E |
| And ready gun and sword | E |
| In the name of the Lord | E |
| All's Well | B |

| Watchman watchman what of the night | A |
| What of the night to tell | B |
| The wind blows fierce and the foam flies white | A |
| And the waters moan and swell | B |
| But the foes to haven keep | F |
| Safe hiding | D |
| And our ships are on the deep | F |
| Sure riding | D |
| And the gallant hearts on board | E |
| Keep ceaseless watch and ward | E |
| In the name of the Lord | E |
| All's Well | B |
| - | |

| Watchman watchman what of the night | A |
| What of the night to tell | B |
| There are widows weeping and babes affright | A |
| And a ceaseless burial bell | B |
| But the hand that holds the gun | G |
| Still shakes not | A |
| And the line drops one by one | G |
| Yet breaks not | A |
| Of the blood so nobly poured | A |
| There shall surely be reward | A |
| In the name of the Lord | A |
| All's Well | B |
