Cradle Song.
Hush-a-by, sweetheart, the stars are all
sleeping;
Scarcely twinkle, SO softly they rest.
Never a flower from its slumber is peep
ing;
The ships are asleep on the dark
oceans breast.
The rosebuds sing to sleep in the darkness
And each little bird in its nest.
Hush-a-by, baby, the hyacinth's faces
Are dropping and dreaming the whole
night through;
The fair lily sleeps in her cobweb laces
And sparkling Jewels of cleaning dew;
The moon is In q cloudy cradle
And star-fringcd blankets Of blue.
Oh. some little babies are softly sleeping.
Sheltered under the warm, green sod,
And some sad mothers are bitterly weep
ing
For fair little souls at home with God;
But thou'rt with thy mother, my own
little baby,
And safe in the realm Of Nod.
