¶Lyrics / Text

Slumber, dearest, while above thee Angel eyes are bending now, And their starry pinions waving, Lightly fan thy placid brow; All is hushed and still around thee, While my lonely watch I keep; Thou art dreaming, sweetly dreaming, Sleep on, darling, peaceful be thy sleep. Deeper now the midnight shadows Gather in the valley fair; Softly thro’ the lattice stealing, Comes the cool refreshing air, Till the rosy light of morning Spangles o’er the crystal deep; Till the birds their songs awaken, Sleep on, darling, peaceful be thy sleep.
