Slumber,my  darling,thy  mother  is  near,
Guarding  the  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  the  sleep,
Fondest,dearest  to  me,
While  others  their  revels  keep,
I  will  watch  over  thee.
Slumber,my  darling,the  birds  are  at  rest,
The  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  the  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,
The  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
