RUSSIAN FOLK LULLABY by ANONYMOUS

First Line: "SLEEP, MY DARLING, CALM AND FEARLESS"
Last Line: AND HE JOINS WITH MINE HIS TENDER / LULLA-LULLA-LULLABY

Sleep, my darling, calm and fearless,
Close thine eyes of heavenly blue.
Sleep, my treasure; I am near thee,
And thy guardian angel, too.
'Neath his wings unseen, we nestle--
Babe and cradle, thou and I;
And he joins with mine his tender
Lulla--lulla--lullaby.
