Lullaby

Shadows all stealing o'er land and sea

While I keep watch o'er thee

While I am singing a lullaby

Close thy bright blue eye

Wrap in a slumber so sweet and deep.

Peacefully shalt thou sleep

Nothing shall harm thee, for I am near

So there is nothing to fear

Lullaby, rockaby

Sleep my dear

Sleep, sleep, sleep

Rockaby, lullaby

Mother is near

So sleep, sleep, sleep

Rockaby, lullaby

Sleep, sleep, sleep

Through the long hours of the dark, still night

Angels of love and light,

Hov'ring around thee, their vigils keep,

Whilst thou art lost in sleep

So off to dreamland away we'll float

All in a slumberboat

Safe, snug and warm, far away from harm

Nothing shall baby alarm.

Lullaby, rockaby

Sleep my dear

Sleep, sleep, sleep

Rockaby, lullaby

Mother is near

So sleep, sleep, sleep

Rockaby, lullaby

Sleep, sleep, sleep
