Sleep thou, dearest boy of mine!
I will cradle thee, I will watch thee-
The boy has been sitting on his mother's lap.
They two have been playing all the life-day long.
The boy has been resting at his mother's breast
all the life-day long. God's blessing on my joy!
The boy has been lying close in to my heart
all the life-day long. He is weary now.
Sleep thou, dearest boy of mine!
I will cradle thee, I will watch thee.
I will cradle thee, I will watch thee;
Sleep and dream thou, dear my boy!
