1
Be hushed, my dear, your mother's near,
You need no longer weep,
Soft melody she sings to thee,
Now close your eyes in sleep.
Now close your eyes in sleep.
Sleep. Sleep.
2
Be hushed, my dear, dry dry tear,
And rest in slumber deep,
With lullaby, she holds you nigh,
Now close your eyes in sleep.
Now close your eyes in sleep.
Sleep, sleep.
