a Lullaby.

The stars are twinkling in the skies.
The earth Is lost in slumbers dccp:
80 hush my sweet, and close thine eve.
And let me lull thy soul to sleep.
Compose thy dimpied hands to rest.
And like n little birding lie
Secure within thy coy nest
Upon my loving mother breast,
And slumber 10 my lullaby,
So hushaby-O hushaby
The moon Is singing 10 4 star
The little song ! sing 20 you:
The father sun has strayed afar,
AS baby: size Is straying too.
And 80 the loving mother moon
Sings to the little star on high;
Sings to the little star on high;
And as she sings, her gentle tune
Is borne 10 me, and thus ] croonc
For thee, my sweet, that lullaby
OF hushaby-O hushaby.
There ls little one asleep
That does not hear his IN Jihe,'s song:
But angel watcners-as weep
Surround his grave the night-iide long
And as l sing, my sweet. to you
Oh. would the lullaby sing
While slumbering on this bosom, too
Were borne TO him on angels wing,
So hus haby-O hushaby.
