| Orbed is the moon and bright | A |
| And the stars they glisten glisten | B |
| Seeming with bright eyes to listen | B |
| For what listen they | C |
| For a song and for a charm | D |
| See they glisten in alarm | D |
| And the moon is waxing warm | E |
| To hear what I shall say | C |
| Moon keep wide thy golden ears | F |
| Hearken stars and hearken spheres | F |
| Hearken thou eternal sky | G |
| I sing an infant's lullaby | G |
| A pretty lullaby | G |
| Listen listen listen listen | B |
| Glisten glisten glisten glisten | B |
| And hear my lullaby | G |
| Though the rushes that will make | H |
| Its cradle still are in the lake | H |
| Though the linen that will be | I |
| Its swathe is on the cotton tree | I |
| Though the woollen that will keep | J |
| It warm is on the silly sheep | J |
| Listen starlight listen listen | B |
| Glisten glisten glisten glisten | B |
| And hear my lullaby | G |
| Child I see thee Child I've found thee | I |
| Midst of the quiet all around thee | I |
| And thy mother sweet is nigh thee | I |
| But a Poet evermore | K |
| See see the lyre the lyre | L |
| In a flame of fire | M |
| Upon the little cradle's top | N |
| Flaring flaring flaring | O |
| Past the eyesight's bearing | O |
| Awake it from its sleep | J |
| And see if it can keep | J |
| Its eyes upon the blaze | P |
| Amaze amaze | P |
| It stares it stares it stares | Q |
| It dares what no one dares | Q |
| It lifts its little hand into the flame | R |
| Unharm'd and on the strings | S |
| Paddles a little tune and sings | S |
| With dumb endeavour sweetly | I |
| Bard art thou completely | I |
| Little child | T |
| O' th' western wild | T |
| Bard art thou completely | I |
| Sweetly with dumb endeavour | M |
| A Poet now or never | M |
| Little child | T |
| O' th' western wild | T |
| A Poet now or never | M |
