The Tealeaves - A Cradle Song Lyrics

Sweet dreams form a shade, O'er
My lovely infants head
Sweet dreams of pleasant streams
By happy silent moon beams
Sweet sleep with soft down

Weave thy brows an infant crown
Sweet sleep Angel mild
Hover o'er happy child
Sweet smiles in the night time
Hover over my delight
All the livelong night beguiles

Sweet moans, dovelike sighs, Chase not slumber from thy eyes
Sweet moans, sweeter smiles, the dovelike moans beguiles
Sleep sleep happy child

All creation slept and smil'd
While o'er thee thy mother weep
Sweet babe in thy face
Soft desires I can trace
Thy maker lay and wept for me

As thy softest limbs I feel
Smiles as of the morning steal
O'er thy cheek, and o'er thy breast
Where thy little heart doth rest

O the cunning wiles that creep
In thy little heart asleep
When thy wake, the dreadful night shall break
