Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDDEEBBDDFDGGDDDD| Sad trinkets of my little daughter dresses | A |
| That touched her like caresses | B |
| Why do you draw my mournful eyes To borrow | C |
| A newer weight of sorrow | C |
| No longer will you clothe her form to fold her | D |
| Around and wrap her hold her | D |
| A hard unwaking sleep has overpowered | E |
| Her limbs and now the flowered | E |
| Cool muslin and the ribbon snoods are bootless | B |
| The gilded girdles fruitless | B |
| My little girl 'twas to a bed far other | D |
| That one day thy poor mother | D |
| Had thought to lead thee and this simple dower | F |
| Suits not the bridal hour | D |
| A tiny shroud and gown of her own sewing | G |
| She gives thee at thy going | G |
| Thy rather brings a clod of earth a somber | D |
| Pillow for thy last slumber | D |
| And so a single casket scant of measure | D |
| Locks thee and all thy treasure | D |
