<div class="poem"><div class="stanza">
<span class="i0">There is a sweet maiden asleep by the sea,<br/></span>
<span class="i1">Her lips are as red as a cherry;<br/></span>
<span class="i0">The roses are resting upon her brown cheeks—<br/></span>
<span class="i1">Her cheeks that are brown as a berry.<br/></span></div>
<div class="stanza">
<span class="i0">She's tired of building up castles of sand,<br/></span>
<span class="i1">Her hands they are gritty and grubby;<br/></span>
<span class="i0">Her shoes, they are wet, and her legs, they are bare,<br/></span>
<span class="i1">Her legs that are sturdy and chubby.<br/></span></div>
<div class="stanza">
<span class="i0">I'll wrap a shawl round you, my dear little maid,<br/></span>
<span class="i1">To keep the wind off you completely,<br/></span>
<span class="i0">And soft I will sing you a lullaby song,<br/></span>
<span class="i1">And soon you will slumber most sweetly.<br/></span></div>
