Verse One
Sleep my baby on my bosom, warm and cosy, smooth as silk; Mother’s arms fold tight around you, Mother’s love is in my milk; I’ll ensure your sleep is peaceful, no one will disturb your nest; Sleep on quietly precious diamond, sweetly on your Mother’s breast; Verse Two Sleep on quietly, night is falling, sleeping picture, image keep; Why I wonder, you are smiling, smiling softly in your sleep; Angles now above are smiling, cheerful smiles to you expressed; You are smiling back while sleeping, merged all quiet on my breast; Verse Three Don’t be fearful of the branches, knock, knock, knocking on the door; Don’t be fearful of the breakers, as they fall upon the shore; Sleep my baby, there’s no danger, nothing here to give you fright; Smiling upward from my bosom, on blessed angles high in flight. |
