GERMAN FOLK LULLABY by ANONYMOUS

First Line: HIGH UP ON THE MOUNTAIN THE WIND BLOWETH WILD
Last Line: "SLEEP, BABY DEAR"

High up on the mountain the wind bloweth wild,
There sitteth Our Lady and rocketh her child,
Her snow-white hand rocks the cradle high,
Nor needs she a cord to rock it by.
Come, Sleep draws near,
Sleep,-Baby dear!
