SLUMBER SONG, by                    
First Line: All is still in sweetest rest
Last Line: Pervade thy dreams!


All is still in sweetest rest,
Be thy sleep serenely blest!
Winds are moaning o'er the wild,
Lullaby, sleep on, my child;
Lullaby, sleep on, my child;
La lullaby, sleep on, my child;
May angel gleams
Pervade thy dreams!

Close each little, loving eye,
Let them like two roselets lie;
And when purpling morn shall glow,
Still as roselets freshly blow,
Still as roselets freshly blow;
La lullaby, sleep on, my child;
May angel gleams
Pervade thy dreams!
