11Sleep, sleep, beauty bright, Sleep, sleep, beauty bright,
22Dreaming in the joys of night; Dreaming o'er the joys of night;
33Sleep, sleep; in thy sleep Sleep, sleep, in thy sleep
44Little sorrows sit and weep. Little sorrows sit and weep.

66Sweet babe, in thy face Sweet babe, in thy face
77Soft desires I can trace, Soft desires I can trace,
88Secret joys and secret smiles, Secret joys and secret smiles,
99Little pretty infant wiles. Little pretty infant wiles.

1111As thy softest limbs I feel As thy softest limbs I feel,
1212Smiles as of the morning steal Smiles as of the morning steal
1313O'er thy cheek, and o'er thy breast O'er thy cheek, and o'er thy breast
1414Where thy little heart doth rest. Where thy little heart does rest.
1515
1616O the cunning wiles that creep O! the cunning wiles that creep
1717In thy little heart asleep! In thy little heart asleep.
1818When thy little heart doth wake, When thy little heart does wake
1919Then the dreadful night shall break.Then the dreadful lightnings break,
20
21From thy cheek and from thy eye,
22O'er the youthful harvests nigh.
23Infant wiles and infant smiles
24Heaven and Earth of peace beguiles.
