Rhyme Scheme: ABABCADAEAFGFGC H IJIKJIKLKLMGNG| Sometimes when I'm gone to bed | A |
| And it's all dark in the room | B |
| Seems I hear somebody tread | A |
| Heavy rustling through the gloom | B |
| And then something there goes 'boom ' | C |
| Stumbling on the floor o'erhead | A |
| And I cover eyes and ears | D |
| Never dare to once look out | A |
| But just cry till mother hears | E |
| Says there's naught to cry about | A |
| 'Old Mis' Wind is at her capers | F |
| Shut your eyes and go to sleep | G |
| She has got among those papers | F |
| In the attic with her sweep | G |
| Shut your eyes and go to sleep ' | C |

| Sometimes when the lamplight's flame | I |
| Flickers fingers tap the pane | J |
| Knuckled fingers just the same | I |
| Rapping with long nails again | K |
| Bony hands then seem to strain | J |
| Pulling at the window frame | I |
| And I cry 'Who's there ' And then | K |
| Sit bolt up in bed and call | L |
| Till my father drops his pen | K |
| Saying to me from the hall | L |
| 'Old Man Rain is at his nonsense | M |
| Close your eyes and go to sleep | G |
| Makes a lot of noise My conscience | N |
| What a fuss his fingers keep | G |
| Close your eyes and go to sleep ' | - |
