Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGHGH BIBIJKJKHer baby was so full of glee | A |
And through the day | B |
It laughed and babbled on her knee | A |
In happy play | B |
It pulled her hair all out of curl | C |
With noisy joy | D |
So peppy she was glad her girl | C |
Was not a boy | D |

Then as she longed for it to sleep | E |
To her surprise | F |
It just relaxed within her keep | E |
With closing eyes | F |
And as it lay upon her breast | G |
So still its breath | H |
So exquisite its utter rest | G |
It looked like death | H |

It seemed like it had slipped away | B |
To shadow land | I |
With tiny face like tinted clay | B |
And waxen hand | I |
No ghost of sigh no living look | J |
Then with an ache | K |
Of panic fear and love she shook | J |
Her babe awake | K |
