Rhyme Scheme: AABCDDEEFFGGHC| Close the book and dim the light | A |
| I shall read no more to night | A |
| No I am not sleepy dear | B |
| Do not go sit by me here | C |
| In the darkness and the deep | D |
| Silence of the watch I keep | D |
| Something in your presence so | E |

| Thus should fold mine eyelids to | G |
| Saying nought of sigh or tear | H |
| Just as God were sitting here | C |
