| Fragoletta blessed one | B |
| What think you of the light of the sun | B |
| Do you think the dark was best | C |
| Lying snug in mother's breast | C |

| Love your mother and love me | G |
| And some night Fragoletta soon | H |
| I'll take you out to see the moon | H |
| And for the first time child of ours | I |
| You shall think of it look on flowers | I |
| And smell them too if you are good | J |
| And hear the green leaves in the wood | J |
| Talking talking all together | K |
| In the happy windy weather | K |
| And if the journey's not too far | L |
| For little limbs so lately made | M |
| Limb upon limb like petals laid | M |
| We'll go and picnic in a star | L |

| Blue eyes looking up at me | G |
| I wonder what you really see | G |
| Lying in your cradle there | N |
| Fragrant as a branch of myrrh | K |
| Helpless little hands and feet | O |
| O so helpless O so sweet | O |
| Tiny tongue that cannot talk | P |
| Tiny feet that cannot walk | P |
| Nothing of you that can do | D |
| Aught except those eyes of blue | D |
| How they open how they close | Q |
| Eyelids of the baby rose | R |
| Open and shut so blue so wise | S |
| Baby eyelids baby eyes | S |

| That Fragoletta is the rain | T |
| Beating upon the window pane | T |
| But lo the golden sun appears | U |
| To kiss away the window's tears | V |
| That Fragoletta is the wind | W |
| That rattles so the window blind | W |
| And yonder shining thing's a star | L |
| Blue eyes you seem ten times as far | L |
| That Fragoletta is a bird | X |
| That speaks yet never says a word | X |
| Upon a cherry tree it sings | Y |
| Simple as all mysterious things | Y |
| Its little life to peck and pipe | Z |
| As long as cherries ripe and ripe | Z |
| And minister unto the need | A2 |
| Of baby birds that feed and feed | A2 |
| This Fragoletta is a flower | K |
| Open and fragrant for an hour | K |
| A flower a transitory thing | B2 |
| Each petal fleeting as a wing | B2 |
| All a May morning blows and blows | R |
| And then for everlasting goes | R |

| Blue eyes against the whiteness pressed | C |
| Of little mother's hallowed breast | C |
| The while your trembling lips are fed | C2 |
| Look up at mother's bended head | C2 |
| All benediction over you | D |
| blue eyes looking into blue | D |
| Fragoletta is so small | D2 |
| We wonder that she lives at all | D2 |
| Tiny alabaster girl | E2 |
| Hardly bigger than a pearl | E2 |
| That is why we take such care | N |
| Lest someone runs away with her | K |
