The Children's Book by  Horace E. Scudder

Lullaby

Golden slumbers kiss your eyes,

Smiles awake when you do rise;

Sleep, pretty wantons; do not cry,

And I will sing a lullaby,

Rock them, rock them, lullaby.


Care is heavy, therefore sleep you;

You are care, and care must keep you;

Sleep, pretty wantons; do not cry,

And I will sing a lullaby,

Rock them, rock them, lullaby

Thomas Dekke
