Slumber song

Slumber, beloved,

The day has gone to rest.

See how the stars are blinking,

Wearily, wanly winking;

Sleep thou, my dear one, lie quietly on mother's breast.

Winds gently sway the heather;

Now we will rest together,

Till day shall dawn, and birds wake in their nest,

Till then, O dear one

Close thine eyes in slumber light;

Sleep! Wrapped in slumber light;

Sleep! Shining stars are watching o'er thee thro' the night:

Sleep!
