Over the rolling waters go,
Come from the dying moon and blow,
Blow him again to me,
While my little one. while my pretty one
sleeps.
Slee p and rest. sleep ana rest.
Father will come to thee soon.
Rest, rest on mothers breast,
Fatner will come to thee soon.

Silver sails all out OF the west,
Under the silver moon,
While my little one, while my pretty one
sleeps.
