A Lullaby.
Sleep, my bal>e, thine eyes are weary. Shut them elose, my Iwnny dearie. While thy mother sings! Are the birds asleep, I wonder. With their little heads tucked under Pretty folded wings?
Sleep! the angels ’round thee hover: Their bright wings thy head shall cover While thou art asleep. All the night long, close beside thee. That no evil may' la-tide thee. They their watch will keep.
Bye-o-baby, warm and rosy. In thy little cot so cosy. Sleep till morning light! Sleep. <1 sleep, thine eyes are weary. Shut them close, my bonny dearie— Baby-bye, good-night.
