A Mother’s Lullaby by Charles Wenham Smith — Lyrics
Slumber on, my pretty babe,
’Neath an unseen angel’s wings;
Whose confiding prayer to Heaven,
Every choicest blessing brings!
Lullaby, the pretty flowers,
Bathed in dew, have gone to rest!

About A Mother’s Lullaby
Charles Wenham Smith’s A Mother’s Lullaby is a tender setting for SATB choir of an English text expressing a mother’s loving wishes for her sleeping child. The words paint a scene of peaceful slumber, watched over by unseen forces and cradled in maternal care. The music reflects the gentle devotion of the text, aiming to evoke a sense of comfort and security. This secular partsong offers a warm and intimate moment for a choir, capturing the universal theme of a parent’s deep affection and hopes for their offspring.
