Rhyme Scheme: AABA CCDD EEAE FFGG| When chirping crickets fainter cry | A |
| And pale stars blossom in the sky | A |
| And twilight's gloom has dimmed the bloom | B |
| And blurred the butterfly | A |
| - | |
| When locust blossoms fleck the walk | C |
| And up the tiger lily stalk | C |
| The glow worm crawls and clings and falls | D |
| And glimmers down the garden walls | D |
| - | |
| When buzzing things with double wings | E |
| Of crisp and raspish flutterings | E |
| Go whizzing by so very nigh | A |
| One thinks of fangs and stings | E |
| - | |
| O then within is stilled the din | F |
| Of crib she rocks the baby in | F |
| And heart and gate and latch's weight | G |
| Are lifted and the lips of Kate | G |
