Full Lyrics
Evening is balmy and cool in the west,
Lulling the golden bright meadows to rest,
Twinkle like silver stars in the skies,
Greeting the two little slumbering eyes.
Sleep, sweetly sleep,
Sleep, sweetly sleep,
Thy watch the good angels in paradise keep;
Sleep, sleep, sleep, sweetly sleep.
Now all the flowers are gone to repose,
All the sweet incensecups peacefully close;
Blossoms rocked lightly on evening’s mild breeze,
Drowsily, dreamily swinging the trees.
Sleep till the flowers are opening once more,
Sleep till the lark in the morning shall soar;
Sleep till the golden bell’s heavenly chime
Festively welcomes the morning’s sunshine.
