| - | |
| The hour of midnight had swept past | B |
| The city bell tolled three | C |
| The moon had sank behind the clouds | D |
| No rustling in the tree | C |
| All all was silent as the grave | E |
| And memories of the tomb | F |
| Had banished sweet sleep far away | G |
| All spoke of tears and gloom | F |
| - | |
| When suddenly upon the air | H |
| Rang out a sweet bird's song | I |
| No feeble weak uncertain note | J |
| No plaint of grief or wrong | I |
| No Miserere Domine | C |
| No Dies Irea sad | K |
| But Gloria in Excelsis rang | L |
| In accents wild and glad | K |
| - | |
| How could he sing a birdling caged | M |
| And in the dark alone | N |
| And then methought that he had seen | O |
| Some vision from God's throne | N |
| The little birdling's eyes were bright | P |
| While mine with tears were dim | Q |
| Had some bright watcher glided by | R |
| And spake in joy to him | Q |
| - | |
| Then I remembered what Christ said | S |
| The God of love's dear Son | T |
| Not one of these small birds forgot | U |
| Beneath the glorious sun | T |
| They have no load of grief to bear | H |
| Of sin no dark deep stain | V |
| And yet in patience take their share | H |
| Of storm and frost and rain | V |
| - | |
| Oh can it be unknown to us | W |
| Without one human word | X |
| The universal Father soothes | Y |
| The death bed of each bird | X |
| The whole creation groaneth yet | Z |
| These pure things of the sky | R |
| Are they not nearer to the gates | A2 |
| Than mortals such as I | R |
| - | |
| Yet while I mused it seemed some form | B2 |
| Ere yet I was aware | H |
| Bent o'er my pillow dried my tears | C2 |
| And turned to sing my prayer | H |
| Some subtle presence unrevealed | Z |
| Seemed to repeat the words | D2 |
| Fear not for you are dearer far | E2 |
| Than many little birds | D2 |
| - | |
| I do not ask what seemed to speak | F2 |
| Whether the angel blest | Z |
| Who hath been my appointed guard | Z |
| In calm or wild unrest | Z |
| Or whether some sweet voice I love | G2 |
| But hushed to me a while | H2 |
| Came down on gentle mission sent | Z |
| To change for tears a smile | H2 |
| - | |
| It matters not God knows faith's wings | I2 |
| Droop sometimes in the dust | Z |
| And hands grow weak and lose their hold | Z |
| On Hope's firm anchor trust | Z |
| And so while sending dew and rain | V |
| And glowing sunbeams bright | Z |
| God giveth unto those who hear | J2 |
| Songs in the darkest night | Z |
