Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDDE AFAFGAAG GHGHIGGJ GKGKBGGB| Sleep like a lover woo thee | A |
| Isabel | B |
| And golden dreams come to thee | A |
| Like a spell | B |
| By some sweet angel drawn | C |
| Noiseless hands shall seal thy slumber | D |
| Setting stars its moments number | D |
| So sleep thou on | E |
| - | |
| The night above thee broodeth | A |
| Hushed and deep | F |
| But no dark thought intrudeth | A |
| On the sleep | F |
| Which folds thy senses now | G |
| Gentle spirits float around thee | A |
| Gentle rest hath softly bound thee | A |
| For pure art thou | G |
| - | |
| And now thy spirit fleeth | G |
| On rare wings | H |
| And fancy's vision seeth | G |
| Holy things | H |
| In its high atmosphere | I |
| Music strange thy sense unsealeth | G |
| And a voice to thee revealeth | G |
| What angels hear | J |
| - | |
| Thou'lt wake when morning breaketh | G |
| Pure and calm | K |
| As one who mourns awaketh | G |
| When the balm | K |
| Of peace hath on him fell | B |
| Purer thoughts shall stir within thee | G |
| Softer cords to virtue win thee | G |
| Farewell Farewell | B |
