8. Lullaby

Slumber softly dear love, 'neath the roses above;'

Carnations shall keep sweet watch o'er thy sleep.

When the dawn's on the pane, God will wake thee again;

When the dawn's on the pane, God will wake thee again;

Sleep my darling so soft, white angels aloft,

Shall lead thee to bowers of heaven's fadeless flowers.

Thou shalt play by the streams in the garden of dreams.

Thou shalt play by the streams in the garden of dreams.
