Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EBEB FGFG HIHI JKJK| A little baby went to sleep | A |
| One night in his white bed | B |
| And the moon came by to take a peep | A |
| At the little baby head | B |

| A wind as wandering winds will do | C |
| Brought to the baby there | D |
| Sweet smells from some quaint flower that grew | C |
| Out on some hill somewhere | D |

| In the little sleepy head | B |

| From a lion to a cat | G |
| Sometimes he thought he flew on wings | F |
| Or fell and fell so that | G |
| - | |
| When morning broke he was right glad | H |
| But much surprised to see | I |
| Himself a soft pink little lad | H |
| Just like he used to be | I |
| - | |
| I would not give this story fame | J |
| If there were room to doubt it | K |
| But when he learned to talk he came | J |
| And told me all about it | K |
