| Lullaby and sleep again | E |
| Two bright eyes through the window stare | F |
| A nose is flattened on the pane | G |
| And infant fingers fumble there | F |
| Not yet not yet you lovely thing | H |
| But count and come nine weeks from now | I |
| When winter's tail has lost the sting | H |
| When buds come striking through the bough | I |
| Then here's True Love will show you how | I |
| Her name she won will hush your cry | D |
| With Sleep my baby Lullaby | D |
