Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGH| Father I cry to thee for bread | A |
| With hungred longing eager prayer | B |
| Thou hear'st and givest me instead | A |
| More hunger and a half despair | B |
| - | |
| O Lord how long My days decline | C |
| My youth is lapped in memories old | D |
| I need not bread alone but wine | C |
| See cup and hand to thee I hold | D |
| - | |
| And yet thou givest thanks O Lord | E |
| That still my heart with hunger faints | F |
| The day will come when at thy board | E |
| I sit forgetting all my plaints | F |
| - | |
| If rain must come and winds must blow | G |
| And I pore long o'er dim seen chart | H |
| Yet Lord let not the hunger go | G |
| And keep the faintness at my heart | H |
