GERMAN FOLK LULLABY by ANONYMOUS

First Line: "SLEEP, BABY, SLEEP, / I CAN SEE TWO LITTLE SHEEP"
Last Line: WILL GIVE YOUR LITTLE TOES A BITE

Sleep, baby, sleep,
I can see two little sheep;
One is black and one is white.
And, if you do not sleep to-night,
First the black and then the white
Will give your little toes a bite.
