Slumber My Darling

Slumber my darling

Thy mother is near

Guarding they dreams

From all terror and fear

Sunlight has past

And the twilight has gone

Slumber my darling

The night's coming on

Sweet visions attend they sleep

Fondest dearest to me

While others their revels keep

I will watch over thee

Slumber my darling

The birds are at rest

Wandering dews

By the flowers are caressed

Slumber my darling

I'll wrap thee up warm

Pray that the angels

Will shield thee from harm

Slumber my darling

Til morn's blushing ray

Brings to the world

The glad tidings of day

Fill the dark void

With thy dreaming delight

Slumber thy mother

Will guard thee tonight

Thy pillow shall sacred be

From all outward alarm

Thou thou art the world to me

In thy innocent charms

Slumber my darling

The birds are at rest

Wandering dews

By the flowers are caressed

Slumber my darling

I'll wrap thee up warm

Pray that the angels

Will shield thee from harm
