A Lullaby.

   Sleep, baby, sleep;
Dream fairies are calling,
 Over your drowsy blue eyes
The white lids are falling:
   Sleep, baby, sleep.

   Sleep, baby, sleep;
And nothing shall harm thee:
 Mother and angels will watch
While dream fairies charm thee
   Sleep, baby, sleep.

   Sleep, baby, sleep;
Ah! now you are smiling,
 Dream fairies sing sweet,
Their songs are beguiling:
   Sleep, baby, sleep.
