ITALIAN CRADLE SONG, by ANONYMOUS First Line: "sleep, my baby, sleep, my darling" Last Line: "slumber, slumber, slumber!" | |||
Sleep, my baby, sleep, my darling, While I hush thee with my song Sleep, until the new sun rises, Sleep in peace the whole night long. Slumber without care or sorrow, My torment, and ah! my bliss; Slumber till the Lord's own angel Wake thee with his gentlest kiss. Slumber, slumber, slumber! Dream of birds, of sun and flowers, Dream of all that's bright and fair; Of the sky, blue after showers, And the rainbow in the air. Sleep, my babe, in thy existence, All my joy and sorrow lies; Thy dear smiles, thy childish prattle, Are thy mother's paradise.
