A CRADLE SONG
Reading edition
Hush thee, hush thee, baby Christ, Lord of all mankind,— Thou the happy lullaby Of my mind. Hush thee, hush thee, Jesus, Lord, Stay of all that art,— Thou the happy lullaby Of my heart. Hush thee, hush thee, home of peace,— Lo! Love lying there!— Thou the happy lullaby Of my care. Hush thee, hush thee, Soul of mine, Setting all men free— Thou the happy lullaby Of the whole of me. Nārāyan Vāman Tilak.
