Rhyme Scheme: ABCBABADEDFGHGAG AIJIKLMLKNKMKBOBAB| I hear her rocking the baby | A |
| Her room is just next to mine | B |
| And I fancy I feel the dimpled arms | C |
| That round her neck entwine | B |
| As she rocks and rocks the baby | A |
| In the room just next to mine | B |
| I hear her rocking the baby | A |
| Each day when the twilight comes | D |
| And I know there's a world of blessing and love | E |
| In the baby bye she hums | D |
| I can see the restless fingers | F |
| Playing with mamma's rings | G |
| And the sweet little smiling pouting mouth | H |
| That to hers in kissing clings | G |
| As she rocks and sings to the baby | A |
| And dreams as she rocks and sings | G |
| - | |
| I hear her rocking the baby | A |
| Slower and slower now | I |
| And I know she is leaving her good night kiss | J |
| On its eyes and cheek and brow | I |
| From her rocking rocking rocking | K |
| I wonder would she start | L |
| Could she know through the wall between us | M |
| She is rocking on a heart | L |
| While my empty arms are aching | K |
| For a form they may not press | N |
| And my emptier heart is breaking | K |
| In its desolate loneliness | M |
| I list to the rocking rocking | K |
| In the room just next to mine | B |
| And breathe a prayer in silence | O |
| At a mother's broken shrine | B |
| For the woman who rocks her baby | A |
| In the room just next to mine | B |
