Lullaby
and Good Night
(Brahms' Lullaby)
Lullaby, and good
night,
With pink roses
bedight,
With lilies o'erspread,
Is my baby's sweet
head.
Lay you down now,
and rest,
May your slumber
be blessed!
Lay you down now,
and rest,
May thy slumber
be blessed!
Lullaby, and good
night,
You're your mother's
delight,
Shining angels beside
My darling abide.
Soft and warm is
your bed,
Close your eyes
and rest your head.
Soft and warm is
your bed,
Close your eyes
and rest your head.
Sleepyhead, close
your eyes.
Mother's right here
beside you.
I'll protect you
from harm,
You will wake in
my arms.
Guardian angels
are near,
So sleep on, with
no fear.
Guardian angels
are near,
So sleep on, with
no fear.
Lullaby, and sleep
tight.
Hush! My darling
is sleeping,
On his sheets white
as cream,
With his head full
of dreams.
When the sky's bright
with dawn,
He will wake in
the morning.
When noontide warms
the world,
He will frolic in
the sun.
