Go To Sleep, Slumber Deep! 1903 'Babes In Toyland'

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 12 Mar 2004

Fades the day away
night is coming dear
I shall near thee stay,
I am watching here.
Hark! the whippoorwill!
Sounds the call afar
While o'er vale and hill
shines the evening star!

Go to sleep! Slumber deep!
Little one, oh sleep, while watch I keep!
Dream and rest, that is best
till you hear the morning song
from bough and nest!

Go to sleep! Slumber deep!
Little one, oh sleep, while watch I keep!
Dream and rest, that is best
till you hear the morning song
from bough and nest!

Close thy drowsy eyes
dark the shadows grow
while the twilight dies
to the afterglow.
Rest oh heart o' mine!
Watch o'er thee I'll keep
sweet repose be thine
dreams and slumber deep...

Go to sleep! Slumber deep!
Little one, oh sleep, while watch I keep!
Dream and rest, that is best
till you hear the morning song
from bough and nest!

Go to sleep! Slumber deep!
Little one, oh sleep, while watch I keep!
Dream and rest, that is best
till you hear the morning song
from bough and nest!
