Cradle Song lyrics
by Alfred Lord Tennyson
What does little birdie say
In her nest at peep of day?
Let me fly, says little birdie
Mother, let me fly away
Birdie, rest a little longer
Till the little wings are stronger
So she rests a little longer
Then she flies away
Baby says, like little birdie
Let me rise and fly away
Baby, sleep a little longer
Till the little limbs are stronger
If she sleeps a little longer
Baby too shall fly away
