Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABCADEFGHF| She took her babe the child of shame and sin | A |
| And wrapped it warmly in her shawl and went | B |
| From house to house for work Propriety bent | B |
| A look of wonder on her raised a din | A |
| Of Christian outrage None would take her in | A |
| All that she had was gone had long been spent | B |
| Penniless and hungry by the road she leant | C |
| No friend to go to and no one of kin | A |

| Her breasts were dry she had no milk to give | E |
| She was so tired and cold What could she do | F |
| The next day in a pool within a wood | G |
| They found the babe 'Twas hard enough to live | H |
| She found for one impossible for two | F |
