| A little maid of summers four | B |
| Did you compute her years | C |
| And yet how infinitely more | B |
| To me her age appears | C |
| - | |
| I mark the sweet child's serious air | D |
| At her unplayful play | E |
| The tiny doll she mothers there | D |
| And lulls to sleep away | E |
| - | |
| Grows 'neath the grave similitude | F |
| An infant real to me | G |
| And she a saint of motherhood | F |
| In hale maturity | G |
| - | |
| So pausing in my lonely round | F |
| And all unseen of her | H |
| I stand uncovered her profound | F |
| And abject worshipper | H |
