Lullaby, and good night,
With pink roses moonlight,
With lilies o'erspread,
Atop the the gravestones head.
Lay you down now, and rest,
May your eternal slumber be blessed,
Lay you down now, and rest,
May thy slumber be blessed.
Lullaby, and good night,
You were my only delight,
Shining angels beside
My darlings side by side.
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.
Mothers right there beside you.
She'll protect you from harm,
Forever lying in her 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 darlings are sleeping,
On their sheets white as cream,
Their heads full of nice dreams.
When the sky's bright with dawn,
I will wake in the morning.
When noontide warm the world,
I mourn for my wife and son.
