Fairy lullaby

R. Quilter

Close thine eyes in slumber sweet,

Lullaby,

While the spangled dews are falling

And the breezes pass on silvery feet;

Where the swaying shadows meet

There are fairies calling

Lullaby, Lullaby.

Fold thy petals pretty rose,

Lullaby,

While the twilight bells are ringing

For the curtains of the day to close;

And beyond the mountain snows

All the golden stars are singing

Lullaby, lullaby.
