Little child, weary eyes wet from weeping Still your cries In your fright Know this night is day in dark disguise Though the darkness brings alarm You're still resting in My arms Do not weep--simply sleep You'll escape from harm Close your eyes little one Time alone can bring the sun, teary eyes
Lullabyes help the time to run There would be no shadow found If the sun weren't coming 'round Close your eyes Starry skies meet dawn without a sound Little child whom I love Can you hear the morning dove While you slept Darkness crept away and left the sun
