Lullaby, oh, lullaby!
Language: English
Lullaby, oh, lullaby! Flowers are closed and lambs are sleeping; Lullaby, oh, lullaby! [Stars are up, the moon is peeping; Lullaby, oh, lullaby!]1 While the birds are silence keeping, (Lullaby, oh, lullaby!) Sleep, my baby, fall a-sleeping, Lullaby, oh, lullaby!
