Slumber My Darling — текст песни (Yo Yo Ma)

Slumber my darling

Thy mother is near

Guarding they dreams

From all terror and fear



Sunlight has past

And the twilight has gone

Slumber my darling

The nights coming on



Sweet visions attend they sleep

Fondest dearest to me

While others their revels keep

I will watch over thee



Slumber my darling

The birds are at rest

Wandering dews

By the flowers are caressed



Slumber my darling

Ill wrap thee up warm

Pray that the angels

Will shield thee from harm



Slumber my darling

Til morns blushing ray

Brings to the world

The glad tidings of day



Fill the dark void

With thy dreaming delight

Slumber thy mother

Will guard thee tonight



Thy pillow shall sacred be

From all outward alarm

Thou thou art the world to me

In thy innocent charms



Slumber my darling

The birds are at rest

Wandering dews

By the flowers are caressed



Slumber my darling

Ill wrap thee up warm

Pray that the angels

Will shield thee from harm
