Cradle song

W. Byrd

My little sweet darling, my comfort and joy,

Sing lullaby, lulla,

In beauty surpassing the princes of Troy,

Sing lullaby, lulla;

Now hush, Child, now sleep, Child, thy mother's sweet boy,

Sing lullaby, lulla;

The gods bless and keep thee from cruel annoy.

Sing lulla, lulla, lulla, sweet baby,

lulla, lulla, sweet baby, lullaby, lulla.
