THE SLEEPING BABY.
Reading edition
Hush, hush, with your noise, What a talking you keep, You rude little boys, Now the baby’s asleep! Hushaby, baby. Mamma has just told me To stay quite here, And, oh, she will scold me, If wakes, baby dear. Hushaby, baby. How soft its white arm, As it lies on its breast, Little baby no harm Shall come while you rest, Hushaby, hush. My task has been given, And I will be true, And sister and Heaven Will watch over you. Hushaby, baby.
