Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEDE FGFH IJKL| Upon its native pillow dear | A |
| The little slumb'rer finds repose | B |
| His fragrant breath eludes the ear | C |
| A zephyr passing o'er a rose | B |
| - | |
| Yet soon from that pure spot of rest | D |
| Love's little throne shalt thou be torn | E |
| Time hovers o'er thy downy nest | D |
| To crown thy baby brow with thorn | E |
| - | |
| Ah thoughtless couldst thou now but see | F |
| On what a world thou soon must move | G |
| Or taste the cup prepar'd for thee | F |
| Of grief lost hopes or widow'd love | H |
| - | |
| Ne'er from that breast thou'd'st raise thine head | I |
| But thou would'st breathe to Heav'n a pray'r | J |
| To let thee ere thy blossom fade | K |
| In one fond sigh exhale thee there | L |
