Dormi Jesu, mater ridet

Dormi Jesu, mater ridet,
Quae tam dulcem somnum videt,
Dormi Jesu, blandule!
Si non dormis, Mater plorat,
Inter fila cantans orat;
Blande, veni, somnule.

The Virgin's Cradle‑Hymn Copied from a print of the Virgin in a Roman Catholic village in Germany

Sleep, sweet babe! my cares beguiling:
Mother sits beside thee smiling;
Sleep, my darling, tenderly!
If thou sleep not, mother mourneth,
Singing as her wheel she turneth:
Come, soft slumber, balmily!

by Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834) , "The Virgin's Cradle-Hymn Copied from a print of the Virgin in a Roman Catholic village in Germany"
