Lullaby, sing lullaby,
The day is far behind you.
The moon sits high atop the sky,
Now let sweet slumber find you.
Away, Away.
They day is done, and gone the sun
That lit the world so brightly.
The earth's a-glow with specked show
Of twinkling stars so sprightly.
Away, away.
Where the sunlight is beaming
Through a deep cloudless blue,
And the treetops are gleaming
With a fresh morning dew.
Where the mountains are shining
At the meadows below,
In a brillant white lining
Of a new fallen snow.
Close your eyes, breathe in the night
A softer bed I'll make you.
The trial is done, all danger gone,
Now let far dreaming take you.
Away, away.
Where the ocean is lapping
At a soft, pearly shore, and the
Swaying palms napping as their swinging frongs soar.
Now the dark night approaches, yet so soft and so mild.
Lullaby, sing lullaby
(Sleep, sleep)
Sleep, my child
(Now, my child).
