GOING TO SLEEP.

Come hither, my baby, my darling,
Nv lily, my wonderful rose!
The white bosomed flowers in the garden
Begin their soft petals to close;
The bees have gone home from the clover,
The swallows are under the caves,
And down in the orchard the robin
Broods over her nest il the leaves.
Come baby, my beauty, my darlingi
Your eyes are heavy with sleep;
Your little red mouth has grown silent,
And scarcely its laughter can keep;
Law of the white robes from your shoulders,
Unclasp the small shoes from your feet
Oh, dantiest blossom Of Eden,
kiss you, my lily, my sweet
Do you feel the cool wiad coming softly,
And see the young moon in the sky?
The clouds sailing over the sunset,
The bats fitting silently byY
Do you hear how the cattle are lowing
Along the green lane by the hill!
And the brook running over the pebbles,
With music that never is siillv
Now hush while sing To you, baby
song OF the angels above,
That come on invisible pinions
To watch DER the children they love,
So all through your beautiful dreaming
The voice of your mother shall creep,
Lest. hearing the harpings celestial.
Your soul should fy homeward in sleepI
