Slumber My Darling

Slumber, my darling, thy mother is near
Guarding thy dreams from all terror and fear
Sunlight has passed and the twilight has gone
Slumber, my darling, the night's coming on
Sweet visions attend thy sleep
Fondness 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
And pray that the angels will shield thee from harm
Sweet visions attend thy sleep
Fondness 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
And pray that the angels will shield thee from harm
