Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDEAA| Pray what can dreams avail | A |
| To make love or to mar | B |
| The child within the cradle rail | A |
| Lies dreaming of the star | B |
| But is the star by this beguiled | C |
| To leave its place and seek the child | C |

| The poor plucked rose within its glass | D |
| Still dreameth of the bee | E |
| But tho' the lagging moments pass | D |
| Her Love she may not see | E |
| If dream of child and flower fail | A |
| Why should a maiden's dreams prevail | A |
