Lullaby, and good night, |
|
With pink roses bedight, |
|
With lilies o'erspread, |
|
Is my baby's sweet head. |
|
Lay you down now, and rest, |
|
May your slumber be blessed! |
|
Lay you down now, and rest, |
|
May thy slumber be blessed! |
|
Lullaby, and good night, |
|
You're your mother's delight, |
|
Shining angels beside |
|
My darling abide. |
|
Soft and warm is your bed, |
|
Close your eyes and rest your head. |
|
Soft and warm is your bed, |
|
Close your eyes and rest your head. |
|
Sleepyhead, close your eyes. |
|
Mother's right here beside you. |
|
I'll protect you from harm, |
|
You will wake in my arms. |
|
Guardian angels are near, |
|
So sleep on, with no fear. |
|
Guardian angels are near, |
|
So sleep on, with no fear. |
|
Lullaby, and sleep tight. |
|
Hush! My darling is sleeping, |
|
On his sheets white as cream, |
|
With his head full of dreams. |
|
When the sky's bright with dawn, |
|
He will wake in the morning. |
|
When noontide warms the world, |
|
He will frolic in the sun. |
