Lullabye

Lullabye All smelling sweet with powder and of milk ‘Tis time to cuddle in your cosy bed Mid golden hair that feels like watered silk Are kisses showered on your curly head Now comes the hour when soft the lamplight glows And casts an evening shadow on the wall Your baby cheeks are lightly brushed with rose No more the dew from drowsy eyelids fall So hush now babe there is no fear of harm To dreamland, drifting slowly, you will creep The hands that hold you closely, safe and warm Will rock you gently til you fall asleep The clear blue eyes in peaceful slumber close And little baby sleeps in sweet repose
