Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDE DDDDFGHA IJKJLMDN DMDMIAOA KPHQDDDD| OPPOSITE my chamber window | A |
| On the sunny roof at play | B |
| High above the city's tumult | C |
| Flocks of doves sit day by day | B |
| Shining necks and snowy bosoms | D |
| Little rosy tripping feet | E |
| Twinkling eyes and fluttering wings | D |
| Cooing voices low and sweet | E |
| - | |
| Graceful games and friendly meetings | D |
| Do I daily watch and see | D |
| For these happy little neighbors | D |
| Always seem at peace to be | D |
| On my window ledge to lure them | F |
| Crumbs of bread I often strew | G |
| And behind the curtain hiding | H |
| Watch them flutter to and fro | A |
| - | |
| Soon they cease to fear the giver | I |
| Quick are they to feel my love | J |
| And my alms are freely taken | K |
| By the shyest little dove | J |
| In soft flight they circle downward | L |
| Peep in through the window pane | M |
| Stretch their gleaming necks to greet me | D |
| Peck and coo and come again | N |
| - | |
| Faithful little friends and neighbors | D |
| For no wintry wind or rain | M |
| Household cares or airy pastimes | D |
| Can my loving birds restrain | M |
| Other friends forget or linger | I |
| But each day I surely know | A |
| That my doves will come and leave here | O |
| Little footprints in the snow | A |
| - | |
| So they teach me the sweet lesson | K |
| That the humblest may give | P |
| Help and hope and in so doing | H |
| Learn the truth by which we live | Q |
| For the heart that freely scatters | D |
| Simple charities and loves | D |
| Lures home content and joy and peace | D |
| Like a soft winged flock of doves | D |
