Sweet dreams, form a shade
O'er my lovely infant's head
Sweet dreams of pleasant streams
By happy, silent, moony beams
Sweet Sleep, with soft down
Weave thy brows an infant crown;
Sweet Sleep, angel mild
Hover o'er my happy child
Sweet smiles, in the night
Hover over my delight
Sweet smiles, mother's smiles
All the livelong night beguiles
Sweet moans, dovelike sighs
Chase not slumber from thy eyes!
Sweet moans, sweeter smiles
All the dovelike moans beguiles
Sleep, sleep, happy child:
All creation slept and smilеd
Sleep, sleep, happy sleep
While o'er thee thy mother weep
Sweet babе, in thy face
Holy image I can trace;
Sweet babe, once like thee
Thy maker lay and wept for me
O'er my lovely infant's head
Sweet dreams of pleasant streams
By happy, silent, moony beams
Sweet Sleep, with soft down
Weave thy brows an infant crown;
Sweet Sleep, angel mild
Hover o'er my happy child
Sweet smiles, in the night
Hover over my delight
Sweet smiles, mother's smiles
All the livelong night beguiles
Sweet moans, dovelike sighs
Chase not slumber from thy eyes!
Sweet moans, sweeter smiles
All the dovelike moans beguiles
Sleep, sleep, happy child:
All creation slept and smilеd
Sleep, sleep, happy sleep
While o'er thee thy mother weep
Sweet babе, in thy face
Holy image I can trace;
Sweet babe, once like thee
Thy maker lay and wept for me
