Lullaby
Language: English
Lullaby baby, Lullaby baby must sleep... Now when the daylight dies Closed be the little eyes. Rest till the sun arise. Sleep, baby, sleep... Peaceful shall rest thy head, Noiseless shall be the tread Round our dear darling's bed. Lullaby baby, Lullaby baby must sleep... No cause for anxious fears, Not yet for thee the years When life must have its tears. Sleep, baby, sleep... Forms that we can not see, Loving are watching thee Thus may it ever be. Lullaby baby, Lullaby baby must sleep...
