Slumber my darling

Thy mother is near

Guarding thy dreams

From all terror and fear

Sunlight has pass'd

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 flow'rs are caressed

Slumber my darling

I'll wrap thee up warm

And 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 flow'rs are caressed

Slumber my darling

I'll wrap thee up warm

And pray that the angels

Will shield

Thee from harm
