Slumber Tree - 1911 - Ivor Novello

James Pitt-Payne, London and Ian Cousins, Opera Australia - 30 Jan 2002

I've built for you a tiny nest,
High up in Slumber Tree,
And there I'll rock you, dear, to rest
For all the birds to see
They'll sing to you a happy song
And stars will shine so bright,
The whisp'ring breeze will float along,
And lull you thro' the night.
And angels fair, with outstretch'd wings,
A watch o'er you will keep.
They'll make you dream of joyous things,
And guard you while you sleep
And when the night has past away,
And day comes in its train,
The morning sun with gentle ray
Will wake you up again, again, again.
I've built for you a tiny nest,
High up in Slumber Tree,
And there I'll rock you, dear, to rest
For all the birds to see.
They'll sing to you a happy song,
And stars will shine so bright,
The whisp'ring breeze will float along,
And lull you thro' the night.
