Rhyme Scheme: AABBBBCCDDBBEEAA| Not a dream brush your sleep | A |
| Not a thought wake and creep | A |
| In upon your spirit's slumber | B |
| Not a memory encumber | B |
| Nor a thievish care unbar | B |
| Sleep's portcullis that no star | B |
| Nor sentry hath I'll not speak | C |
| With my soul even no nor seek | C |
| Other happiness for you | D |
| When you this happy sleep sleep through | D |
| Let no least desire waver | B |
| Between us nor impatience quaver | B |
| No sudden nearness of me flush | E |
| Your veins with welcome Hush hush | E |
| Be still my thoughts lest you creep | A |
| Unawares into her sleep | A |
