¶Lyrics / Text

Weary wanderer, repose, Thy sad eyelids close, For this is thy home, thou shalt dwell with me; In thy bed so deep Calm shalt thou sleep, Till my stream’s quaffed dry by the foaming sea. Mossy pillows are spread, Come and rest thy head In my chamber blue with its crystal clear; Tiny wavelets, roll And lull his soul, Gentle waves to rock him. Oh, quick come here. None thy slumbers shall break Until all shall wake, In thy sleep thou wilt lose both thy grief and joy, Now the moon shines bright Through mists of night, And how broad above us is spread the sky! Lullaby, lullaby.
