Lullaby

Sleep, my son, oh! slumber softly,

While thy mother watches o'er thee,

Nothing can affright or harm thee.

Oh! sleep, my son.

Far-away

Zithers play,

Dancing gay

Calls to-day.

Vainly play

Zithers gay!

Here I stay

All the day.

Happily

Guarding thee,

Peacefully

Watching thee.

Sleep, my son, oh! slumber softly,

While thy mother watches o'er thee,

Oh! sleep, my son.
