CHAPTER 1

Slumber my darling Thy mother is near

Guarding thy dreams From all terror and fear

Sunlight has past And the twilight has gone Slumber my darling The night's coming on

Sweet visions attend thy sleep Fondest dearest to me

While others their revels keep I will watch over thee

Slumber my darling The birds are at rest. Wandering dews By the flowers are caressed

Slumber my darling I'll wrap thee up warm Pray that the angels Will shield thee from harm

Slumber my darling Til morn's blushing ray Brings to the world The glad tidings of day

Fill the dark void With thy dreaming delight Slumber, thy mother Will guard thee tonight
