The Warm Cradle

by (1865–1940)

Listen in the reader

Hush, baby, hush, Sweet robin's in the bush— All the birdies lie so quiet, Won't my little dicky try it? Hush, baby, hush.

Sleep, baby, sleep, The lammies love the sheep— Woolly babes all nestle cosy, Lie, my lambkin, warm and rosy, Sleep, baby, sleep.

Dream, baby, dream, Our feet are in the stream— Stones below but stars above, child, Life is warm so long we love, child, Dream, baby, dream.
