| Busily weave this Summer night | A |
| Silver ropes and diamond strands | B |
| For Baby's pink and dimpl'd hands | B |
| Cords for her rosy palms to hold | C |
| While she floats she flies | D |
| To Dream Land set with its shores of gold | C |
| And its buds like stars shaken out of the skies | D |
| Where the trees have tongues and the flowers have lips | E |
| To coax to kiss | F |
| The velvet cheek of the Babe who slips | E |
| Thro' the Dream gate up to a land like this | F |
| - | |
| What is the mild sea whisp'ring clear | G |
| In the rosy shell of Baby's ear | H |
| See she laughs in her dimpl'd sleep | I |
| What does she hear from the shining deep | I |

| Thy father comes a sailing a sailing a sailing | J |
| Safely comes a sailing from islands fair and far | K |
| O Baby bid thy mother cease her tears and bitter wailing | J |
| The sailor's wife's his only port his babe his beacon star | K |
| - | |
| Softly the Wind doth blow | L |
| What say its murmurs low | L |
| What doth it bring | J |
| On the wide soft plume of its dewy wing | J |
| Only scented blisses | F |
| Of innocent sweet kisses | F |
| For such cheeks as this is | F |
| Of Baby in her nest | M |
| From all the dreaming flowers | F |
| A nodding in their bowers | F |
| Or bright on leafy towers | F |
| Where the fairy monarchs rest | M |
| But chiefly I bring | J |
| On my fresh sweet mouth | N |
| Her father's kiss | F |
| As he sails out of the south | N |
| He hitherward blew it at break of day | O |
| I lay it Babe on thy tender lip | P |
| I'll steal another and hie away | O |
| And kiss it to him on his wave rock'd ship | P |
| - | |
| I saw a fairy twine | Q |
| Of star white Jessamine | R |
| A dainty seat shaped like an airy swing | J |
| With two round yellow stars | F |
| Against the misty bars | F |
| Of Night she nailed it high | S |
| In the pansy purple sky | S |
| With four taps of her little rainbow wing | J |
| To and fro | L |
| That swing I'll blow | L |
| - | |
| The baby moon in the amethyst sky | S |
| Will laugh at us as we float and fly | S |
| And stretch her silver arms and try | S |
| To catch the earth babe swinging by | S |
