GERMAN FOLK LULLABY by ANONYMOUS

First Line: "LULLA-LULLABY, / HUSH, MY BABE AND DO NOT CRY"
Last Line: "LU-LULLABY,"

Lulla-lullaby,
Hush, my babe, and do not cry;
Nice sugar'd broth your nurse will bring,
And till you sleep, to thee I'll sing:
Lu-lullaby.

Lulla-lullaby,
Hush, my babe, no danger nigh,
As in your cradle now you swing,
Until you sleep, I'll softly sing,
Lu-lullaby,
