Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDED FGHG IJIJ KLKL| Take heed of this small child of earth | A |
| He is great he hath in him God most high | B |
| Children before their fleshly birth | A |
| Are lights alive in the blue sky | B |
| - | |
| In our light bitter world of wrong | C |
| They come God gives us them awhile | D |
| His speech is in their stammering tongue | E |
| And his forgiveness in their smile | D |

| Their sweet light rests upon our eyes | F |
| Alas their right to joy is plain | G |
| If they are hungry Paradise | H |
| Weeps and if cold Heaven thrills with pain | G |

| The want that saps their sinless flower | I |
| Speaks judgment on sin's ministers | J |
| Man holds an angel in his power | I |
| Ah deep in Heaven what thunder stirs | J |
| - | |
| When God seeks out these tender things | K |
| Whom in the shadow where we sleep | L |
| He sends us clothed about with wings | K |
| And finds them ragged babes that weep | L |
