Sleep, my baby, all the night! Star and star for candle-light Shining softly all about. Not a breeze to blow them out. Not a saucy cloud but soon Sails from off the placid moon. Moon and star the watch will keep: Go to sleep! Go to sleep! Go to sleep, my baby dear: Never fear! If the wind blow out the light,-- If the moon go out of sight, All the hours of dark and dew Will the mother watch by you. Mother still her babe will keep: Go to sleep!
