LULLABY[1]
Rest thee, my baby, rest,
Safe on thy mother’s breast;
Hush thee, sweet baby mine,
All the great world is thine!
Thou hast thy father’s arm
To shield thy life from harm;
Friends thou hast, kind and true;
Thou hast thy mother too!
Hush thee, my little dove!
Thine is the sky above,
Thine, the green earth below,
Thine, all the flowers that blow.
Thou hast the free fresh air,
God’s sunshine everywhere;
Dew for thy flowers, and rain
To cool the earth again.
