Rhyme Scheme: ABA CBA DDA ADA DDA ADA EDA

You would not slumberA
If laid at my breastB
You would not slumberA
-
The river flood beatsC
The swan from her nestB
You would not slumberA
-
And like that quick floodD
My blood goes unguessedD
You would not slumberA
-
Times without numberA
Has called the wood questD
Times without numberA
-
As oft as she calledD
To me you were pressedD
Times without numberA
-
Now you'd not slumberA
If laid at my breastD
Times without numberA
-
O starling reed restingE
I ll rock you to restD
So you will slumberA
