Lullaby (Chadwick, set by G. Chadwick) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Lullaby baby,
Lullaby baby must sleep...

Now when the daylight dies
Closed be the little eyes.
Rest till the sun arise.
Sleep, baby, sleep... 
Peaceful shall rest thy head,
Noiseless shall be the tread
Round our dear darling's bed.
Lullaby baby,
Lullaby baby must sleep...

No cause for anxious fears,
Not yet for thee the years
When  life must have its tears.
Sleep, baby, sleep...
Forms that we can not see,
Loving are watching thee
Thus may it ever be.
Lullaby baby,
Lullaby baby must sleep...
