Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDED FDGDHEI JKELDMD NGKGFOF| Standing close by you | A |
| In the cold light | B |
| Of two tall candles | C |
| That measure the dark of night | B |
| I hear the mouse | D |
| The only thing that's moving | E |
| In the quiet house | D |
| - | |
| Don't you hear it | F |
| That furious mouse | D |
| How can you sleep so deep | G |
| And that noise in the house | D |
| Won't you stir | H |
| At the furious scratching | E |
| In the cupboard there | I |
| - | |
| No a sharper sound | J |
| Would wake you not | K |
| Not the sweetest fluting | E |
| Tease you back to thought | L |
| Yet the scratching mouse | D |
| Makes all my flesh a nervous | M |
| Haunted house | D |
| - | |
| O the dream the dream | N |
| Must be sweet and deep | G |
| If life's scratching's heard not | K |
| On your cold sleep | G |
| Yet if you should hear it | F |
| So furious and fretful | O |
| How could you bear it | F |
