Lullaby

            Johannes Brahms

1. Lullaby, lullaby and goodnight!
With roses bedight,
Lullaby, lullaby, lullaby,
Lay thee down now and rest,
May thy slumber be blest;
Lullaby, lullaby,
May thy slumber be blest.
     1. Lullaby and goodnight!
     With roses bedight,
     With lillies o'er spread
     Is baby's wee bed,
     Lay thee down now and rest,
     May thy slumber be blest;
     Lay thee down now and rest,
     May thy slumber be blest.

2. Lullyaby, lullaby and goodnight!
Thy mother's delight!
Lullaby, lullaby, lullaby,
They will guard thee at rest,
Thou shalt wake on my breast;
Lullaby, lullaby,
Thou shalt wake on my breast.
     2. Lullaby and goodnight!
     Thy mother's delight!
     Bright angles beside
     My darling abide.
     They will guard thee at rest,
     Thous shalt wake on my breast;
     They will guard thee at rest,
     Thou shalt wake on my breast.
