Slumber, my darling, thy mother is near,
AmCAmG
Guarding thy dreams from all terror and fear,
CAmCAmC
Sunlight has pass'd and the twilight has gone,
AmCGC
Slumber, my darling, the night's coming on.

Sweet visions attend thy sleep,
GCGC
Fondest, dearest to me,
GCGC
While others their revels keep,
GDGG7
I will watch over thee.

Slumber, my darling, the birds are at rest,
AmCAmG
The wandering dews by the flow'rs are caressed,
CAmCAmC
Slumber, my darling, I'll wrap thee up warm,
AmCGC
And pray that the angels will shield thee from harm.

Slumber, my darling, till morn's blushing ray
AmCAmG
Brings to the world the glad tidings of day;
CAmCAmC
Fill the dark void with thy dreamy delight
AmCGC
Slumber, thy mother will guard thee tonight
GCGC
Thy pillow shall sacred be
GCGC
From all outward alarms;
GCGC
Thou, thou are the world to me
GDGG7
In thine innocent charms.
