Rhyme Scheme: AABBCD EEFFGG CHIIJJ| For the long nights you lay awake | A |
| And watched for my unworthy sake | A |
| For your most comfortable hand | B |
| That led me through the uneven land | B |
| For all the story books you read | C |
| For all the pains you comforted | D |
| - | |
| For all you pitied all you bore | E |
| In sad and happy days of yore | E |
| My second Mother my first Wife | F |
| The angel of my infant life | F |
| From the sick child now well and old | G |
| Take nurse the little book you hold | G |
| - | |
| And grant it Heaven that all who read | C |
| May find as dear a nurse at need | H |
| And every child who lists my rhyme | I |
| In the bright fireside nursery clime | I |
| May hear it in as kind a voice | J |
| As made my childish days rejoice | J |
