And this is an authentic account Of
that unexpected engagement which

that he had not hoped to win her, and
her bosom friends had been told that
she had every intention Of refusing

Oh, hush thee. my baby; the great world
is sleeping
And night scars above us with black,
dropping wings:
Let no fear come nigh thee. for mother
is by thee.
And sweetly and softly lullaby sings.
Oh. close. drowsy eyelids, now; close
them. my baby.
And let thy fair head on the pillow
repose;
Then sleep will steal softly and lure thee
to dreamland
Oh. hush thee my darling! thy tired
eyes close!
The cool wind comes murmuring down
through the valley.
Whispering low it rustles along,
Swaying the long grass all dripping with
dewdrops.
And hushing the world with its low.
sweet song.
Oh, hush thee. my baby! the shadows
are deep'ning;
The night winds cool breathing will
soothe thee to rest.
May heaven defend thee and sweet sleep
attend thee.
And Gods holy angels watch over thy
rest.
