2. Lulla, lulla, sweetly slumber,

mother's treasuring, slumber deep.
Lulla, lulla, now you're smiling,
smiling, dear one, through your sleep.
Say, are angels bending o'er you,
smiling down from heav'n above?
Is that heav'nly smile your answer,
love from dreamland answ'ring love?

3. Hush, my treasure, 'tis a leafet

beating, beating on the door.
Hush, my pretty, 'tis the ripple
lapping, lapping on the shore.
Mother watches nought can harm you,
angel warders gather nigh.
Blessed angels, bending o'er you,
sing you lullaby.
