Hush, my dear one, sleep serenely
Now my lovely slumber deep
Mother rocks you, humming lowly
Close your eyes now, go to sleep
Angels hover ever nearer
Looking on your smiling face
I will hold you, close and fold you
Close your eyes now, go to sleep
Lovely darling, I will guard you
Keep you from all woe and harm
Slowly, gently, I will rock you
Resting sweetly on my arm
May you slumber, air so softly
Dream of visions, wondrous fair
I will hold you, close and fold you
Close your eyes now, go to sleep
May you slumber, air so softly
Dream of visions, wondrous fair
I will hold you, close, and fold you
Close your eyes now, go to sleep
