SLUMBER MY DARLING


Slumber my darling, thy mother is near
Guarding thy 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 thy 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, till morn's blushing ray
Brings to the world the glad tidings of day
Fill the dark void with thy dreamy delight--
Slumber, thy mother will guard thee tonight

Thy pillow shall sacred be
From all outward alarms
Thou, thou are the world to me
In thine 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

-----The end-----
