Rest my little love

Rest my little love

For busy have you been

And the time of day is late and late

And there’s much today that you have seen

Rest my little love

You’re in day and night’s between

 

Rest my little girl

In my arms as you do sleep

For the day is passing over now

And your path today was high and steep

Rest my little girl

Night time’s dark does quietly creep

 

Sleep, my angel sleep

In my arms you softly fall

While you dream of things worth dreaming of

So many things and tried were all

Go my angel go

To your sleep time’s gentle call
