| XX November | A |

| - | |
| In the dusky nook | B |
| Near the altar laid | C |
| Sleeps the child in shadow | D |
| Of his mother's bed | E |
| Softly he reposes | F |
| And his lid of roses | F |
| Closed to earth uncloses | F |
| On the heaven o'erhead | E |
| - | |
| Many a dream is with him | G |
| Fresh from fairyland | E |
| Spangled o'er with diamonds | F |
| Seems the ocean sand | E |
| Suns are flaming there | A |
| Troops of ladies fair | A |
| Souls of infants bear | A |
| In each charming hand | E |
| - | |
| Oh enchanting vision | H |
| Lo a rill upsprings | F |
| And from out its bosom | I |
| Comes a voice that sings | F |
| Lovelier there appear | A |
| Sire and sisters dear | A |
| While his mother near | A |
| Plumes her new born wings | F |
| - | |
| But a brighter vision | H |
| Yet his eyes behold | E |
| Roses pied and lilies | F |
| Every path enfold | E |
| Lakes delicious sleeping | J |
| Silver fishes leaping | J |
| Through the wavelets creeping | J |
| Up to reeds of gold | E |
| - | |
| Slumber on sweet infant | E |
| Slumber peacefully | K |
| Thy young soul yet knows not | E |
| What thy lot may be | K |
| Like dead weeds that sweep | L |
| O'er the dol'rous deep | L |
| Thou art borne in sleep | L |
| What is all to thee | K |
| - | |
| Thou canst slumber by the way | M |
| Thou hast learnt to borrow | D |
| Naught from study naught from care | A |
| The cold hand of sorrow | D |
| On thy brow unwrinkled yet | E |
| Where young truth and candor sit | E |
| Ne'er with rugged nail hath writ | E |
| That sad word To morrow | D |
| - | |
| Innocent thou sleepest | E |
| See the angelic band | E |
| Who foreknow the trials | F |
| That for man are planned | E |
| Seeing him unarmed | E |
| Unfearing unalarmed | E |
| With their tears have warmed | E |
| This unconscious hand | E |
| - | |
| Still they hovering o'er him | G |
| Kiss him where he lies | F |
| Hark he sees them weeping | J |
| Gabriel he cries | F |
| Hush the angel says | F |
| On his lip he lays | F |
| One finger one displays | F |
| His native skies | F |
