Lullaby
Language: English 
   Sleep, my son, oh! slumber softly,
While thy mother watches o'er thee,
Nothing can affright or harm thee.
     Oh! sleep, my son.

                  Far-away
               Zithers play,
               Dancing gay
               Calls to-day.

                  Vainly play
               Zithers gay!
               Here I stay
               All the day.

                  Happily
               Guarding thee,
               Peacefully
               Watching thee.

   Sleep, my son, oh! slumber softly,
While thy mother watches o'er thee,
     Oh! sleep, my son.
