Full Lyrics
Lie still, my little one, shadows are falling,
Closing thy wideopen, wondering eyes.
Hark, how the voices of dreamland are calling
Sweet to my little one here where she lies!
Hushaby, baby mine, shadows grow deep;
Shut those blue eyes of thine, lie still and sleep,
Naught is affrighting thee,
dreams are inviting thee,
Mother is near to thee— sleep, darling, sleep!
What dost thou see in thy faraway gazing?
What dost thou say in that cooing of thine?
In thy strange tongue is it wisdom amazing.
Wise little visitor, baby mine?
Lie still, my little one, Twilight is dark’ning,
Birds are all twittering sweetly goodnight.
Whisper thy dreams to me, mother is heark’ning,
List’ning over thee, clasping thee tight.
Lullaby, little one, sweet be thy sleep;
Hushaby, pretty, pretty one, slumbering deep.
Darkness may cover thee,
angels watch over thee,
Mother is near to thee— sleep, darling, sleep, sleep.
