CROON me a lullaby,
Soothe me to rest,
Pillow my tired head
Low on your breast;
Pass your hand drowsily
Over my eyes,
Under your gentle touch
Restfulness lies.

Rock to and fro with me,
Sing sweet and low to me,
Swinging and singing
Will lull me to rest.
Fold your arms lovingly
Over my heart,
Sorrow will glide away,
Trouble depart.
Quietly resting,
My senses beguiled,
I'll peacefully sleep
Like a worn-out child.

Rock to and fro with me,
Sing sweet and low to me.
Hushaby, lullaby,
Soothe me to rest.

Smiling and dreaming,
Bright visions unfold,
The stars, intermingling,
Weave fancies in gold;
The hum of the busy world,
Freighted with care,
Will fade out in slumber like
Mist from the air.

Rock to and fro with me,
Sing sweet and low to me,
Hushaby, lullaby,
Soothe me to rest.
