| As I fell asleep | B |
| O the touching sight | A |
| Makes me still to weep | B |
| Of my little lad | C |
| Gone to leave me sad | C |
| Ay the child I had | C |
| But was not to keep | B |
| - | |
| As in heaven high | D |
| I my child did seek | E |
| There in train came by | D |
| Children fair and meek | E |
| Each in lily white | A |
| With a lamp alight | A |
| Each was clear to sight | A |
| But they did not speak | E |

| Then a little sad | C |
| Came my child in turn | F |
| But the lamp he had | C |
| O it did not burn | F |
| He to clear my doubt | G |
| Said half turn'd about | G |
| 'Your tears put it out | G |
| Mother never mourn ' | - |
