Japanese lullaby

G. Ross

Go to sleep brown-eyed baby

Sleep

The daylight is waning

Darkness creeps upon us

Sleep

The Poppies are nodding

Their little heads are drooping,

Sleep

Birds in their nests in the cherry trees are sleeping

Sleep

A little silvery moonbeam creeps in the side my baby,

sleep

Morning comes with the rising sun

Moonbeams and stars away must run

So go to sleep my wee brown-eyed baby

Sleep
