Rhyme Scheme: ABABAB CACACA DADADA EFEFBB| From torrid heat to frigid cold | A |
| I've rovered land and sea | B |
| And now with halting heart I hold | A |
| My grandchild on my knee | B |
| Yet while I've eighty years all told | A |
| Of moons she has but three | B |
| - | |
| She sleeps that fragile miniature | C |
| Of future maidenhood | A |
| She will be wonderful I'm sure | C |
| As over her I brood | A |
| She is so innocent so pure | C |
| I know she will be good | A |
| - | |
| My way I've won from woe to weal | D |
| And hard has been the fight | A |
| Yet in my ingle nook I feel | D |
| A wondrous peace to night | A |
| And over me serenely steal | D |
| Warm waves of love and light | A |
| - | |
| What sloppy stuff I hear you say | E |
| Give us a lusty song | F |
| Alas I'm bent and gnarled and grey | E |
| My life may not be long | F |
| Yet let its crown of glory be | B |
| This child upon me knee | B |
