Lullaby lyrics
by Edward Elgar
Sleep, my son, oh! slumber softly
While thy mother watches o'er thee
Nothing can affright or harm thee
Oh! sleep, my son
Far-away
Zithers play
Dancing gay
Calls to-day
Vainly play
Zithers gay!
Here I stay
All the day
Happily
Guarding thee
Peacefully
Watching thee
Sleep, my son, oh! slumber softly
While thy mother watches o'er thee
Oh! sleep, my son
