Sweetly she sleeps my Alice fair
Her cheek on the pillow pressed
Sweetly she sleeps while her Saxon hair
Like sunlight streams o'er her breast
Hush let her sleep I pray sweet breeze
Breathe low on the maple bough
Hush bright bird on her window trees
For sweetly she sleepeth now
Sweetly she sleeps my Alice fair
Her cheek on the pillow pressed
Sweetly she sleeps while her Saxon hair
Like sunlight streams o'er her breast
Sweetly she sleeps my Alice fair
Her cheek like the first May rose
Sweetly she sleeps and all her care
Is forgotten in soft repose
Hush though the earliest beams of light
Their wings in the blue sea dip
Let her sleep I pray while her dreams are bright
And a smile is about her lip
Sweetly she sleeps my Alice fair
Her cheek on the pillow pressed
Sweetly she sleeps while her Saxon hair
Like sunlight streams o'er her breast
