Christina Georgina Rossetti

Lullaby

Lullaby, oh, lullaby!

Flowers are closed and lambs are sleeping;

Lullaby, oh, lullaby!

Stars are up, the moon is peeping;

Lullaby, oh, lullaby!

While the birds are silence keeping,

Lullaby, oh, lullaby!

Sleep, my baby, fail a-sleeping,

Lullaby, oh, lullaby!
