'Tis moonlight on Trebarwith Vale	A
And moonlight on an Ogre keen	B
Who prowling hungry through the dale	A
A lone cottage hath seen	B
	-
Small with thin smoke ascending up	C
Three casements and a door	D
The Ogre eager is to sup	C
And here seems dainty store	D
	-
Sweet as a larder to a mouse	E
So to him staring down	F
Seemed the sweet windowed moonlit house	E
With jasmine overgrown	G
	-
He snorted as the billows snort	H
In darkness of the night	I
Betwixt his lean locks tawny swart	H
He glowered on the sight	I
	-
Into the garden sweet with peas	J
He put his wooden shoe	K
And bending back the apple trees	J
Crept covetously through	K
	-
Then stooping with an impious eye	L
Stared through the lattice small	M
And spied two children which did lie	L
Asleep against the wall	M
	-
Into their dreams no shadow fell	N
Of his disastrous thumb	O
Groping discreet and gradual	P
Across the quiet room	Q
	-
But scarce his nail had scraped the cot	R
Wherein these children lay	S
As if his malice were forgot	R
It suddenly did stay	S
	-
For faintly in the ingle nook	T
He heard a cradlesong	T
That rose into his thoughts and woke	T
Terror them among	T
	-
For she who in the kitchen sat	U
Darning by the fire	V
Guileless of what he would be at	U
Sang sweet as wind or wire	V
	-
'Lullay thou little tiny child	W
By by lullay lullie	S
Jesu of glory meek and mild	W
This night remember ye	X
	-
'Fiend witch and goblin foul and wild	W
He deems 'em smoke to be	X
Lullay thou little tiny child	W
By by lullay lullie '	-
	-
The Ogre lifted up his eyes	Y
Into the moon's pale ray	S
And gazed upon her leopard wise	Y
Cruel and clear as day	S
	-
He snarled in gluttony and fear	Z
'The wind blows dismally	X
Jesu in storm my lambs be near	Z
By by lullay lullie '	-
	-
And like a ravenous beast which sees	J
The hunter's icy eye	L
So did this wretch in wrath confess	A2
Sweet Jesu's mastery	X
	-
He lightly drew his greedy thumb	O
From out that casement pale	S
And strode enormous swiftly home	B2
Whinnying down the dale	S
