11Bright is the moon on the deep,Sweet and low, sweet and low
22Bright are the cliffs in her beam, Wind of the western sea,
33 Sleep, my little one, sleep!Low, low, breathe and blow,
44Look he smiles, and opens his hands, Wind of the western sea!
55He sees his father in distant lands,Over the rolling waters go,
66And kisses him there in a dream,Come from the dying moon, and blow,
77 Sleep, sleep. Blow him again to me,
8While my little one, while my pretty one, sleeps.

910Father is over the deep,Sleep and rest, sleep and rest,
1011Father will come to thee soon, Father will come to thee soon;
1112 Sleep, my pretty one, sleep!Rest, rest, on mother's breast,
13 Father will come to thee soon;
1214Father will come to his babe in the nest,Father will come to his babe in the nest,
1315Silver sails all out of the West,Silver sails all out of the west
1416Under the silver moon, Under the silver moon!
1517 Sleep, sleep!Sleep my little one, sleep my pretty one, sleep.
