Hush, My Little One, Sleep Awhile

Hush, my little one, sleep awhile, 
Nestled 'neath my heart of love 
I'll sing to you, sweet and low 
'Til heaven streams, bright with gold 

Hush, my little one, sleep awhile, 
My love abounds to guard thy sleep 
Drifting away 'neath silvery moon 
While stars twinkle away your gloom 

Hush, my little one, sleep awhile, 
Tender kisses caress thy cheek 
Hush'd by my gentle whispering 
Lull'd in the land of dreaming 

Hush, my little one, sleep awhile, 
There is nothing to fear 
While I am near 
Hush, my little one, sleep awhile
