¶Lyrics / Text

Sleep! the bird is in its nest; Sleep! the bee is hushed to rest; Sleep! rocked on thy mother's breast! Lulla, lullaby, To thy mother's fond heart pressed, Lulla, lullaby. Sleep! the waning daylight dies; Sleep! the stars dream in the skies; Daisies long have closed their eyes; Lulla, lullaby, Calm, how calm on all things lies! Lulla, lullaby. Sleep, then, sleep! my heart's delight; Sleep! and through the darksome night Round thy bed God's angels bright, Lulla, lullaby, Guard thee till I come with light; Lulla, lullaby.
