Brahms' Lullaby
Lyrics
Lullaby and good night, with roses bestride,
With lilies bedecked 'neath Baby's sweet bed
May thou sleep, may thou rest, may thy slumber be blest
May thou sleep, may thou rest, may thy slumber be blest
Lullaby and good night, thy mother's delight
Bright angels around, my darling, shall guard
They will guide thee from harm, thou art safe in my arms
They will guide thee from harm, thou art safe in my arms
Good evening, good night, covered with roses,
With tiny fingernails hidden, slipping under the blankets
Tomorrow morning, if God wills, you will wake again
Tomorrow morning, if God wills, you will wake again
God evening, good night, watched over by tiny angels
Who show the little Christ Child's tree in dreams,
Sleep now, blessed and sweet, look at dream's paradise
Sleep now, blessed and sweet, look at dream's paradise
