1 Sleep, baby sleep! Dad is not nigh, Tossed on the deep, Lul-lul-a-by! Moon shining bright, Dropping of dew. Owls hoot all night To-whit! to-whoo! 2 Sleep, baby sleep! Dad is away, Tossed on the deep, Looking for day. In the hedge row Glow-worms alight, Rivulets flow, All through the night. 3 Sleep, baby sleep! Dad is afar, Tossed on the deep, Watching a star. Clock going—tick, Tack—in the dark. On the hearth-brick, Dies the last spark. 4 Sleep, baby sleep! What! not a wink! Dad on the deep, What will he think? Baby dear, soon Daddy will come, Bringing red shoon For baby at home.
