- Slumber, my darling, thy mother is near,
- Guarding thy dreams from all terror and fear,
- Sunlight has pass’d and the twilight has gone,
- Slumber, my darling, the night’s coming on.
- Sweet visions attend thy sleep,
- Fondest, dearest to me,
- While others their revels keep,
- I will watch over thee.
- Slumber, my darling, the birds are at rest,
- The wandering dews by the flow’rs are caressed,
- Slumber, my darling, I’ll wrap thee up warm,
- And pray that the angels will shield thee from harm.
- Slumber, my darling, till morn’s blushing ray
- Brings to the world the glad tidings of day;
- Fill the dark void with thy dreamy delight–
- Slumber, thy mother will guard thee tonight,
- Thy pillow shall sacred be
- From all outward alarms;
- Thou, thou are the world to me
- In thine innocent charms.
- Slumber, my darling, the birds are at rest,
- The wandering dews by the flow’rs are caressed,
- Slumber, my darling, I’ll wrap thee up warm,
- And pray that the angels will shield thee from harm.
- Lyrics: Stephen Foster (1826-1864).
