Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF AGAG| Sleep on and dream of Heav'n awhile | A |
| Tho' shut so close thy laughing eyes | B |
| Thy rosy lips still seem to smile | A |
| And move and breathe delicious sighs | B |
| - | |
| Ah now soft blushes tinge her cheeks | C |
| And mantle o'er her neck of snow | D |
| Ah now she murmurs now she speaks | C |
| What most I wish and fear to know | D |
| - | |
| She starts she trembles and she weeps | E |
| Her fair hands folded on her breast | F |
| And now how like a saint she sleeps | E |
| A seraph in the realms of rest | F |
| - | |
| Sleep on secure Above controul | A |
| Thy thoughts belong to Heav'n and thee | G |
| And may the secret of thy soul | A |
| Repose within its sanctuary | G |
