SLUMBER SONG.
Gae to sleep, my bonnie baby,
Gae to sleep, my bairn, an’ dream;
Shadows thro’ the pines are creeping,
Lilies on the wimplin’ stream
Noo are rockin’, rockin’, rockin’;
A’ their snawy besoms gleam
Wi’ the gold o’ starlight folded
In their hearts to light their dream.
Sae may luve my kisses gi’e you
On your dainty lips to-night,
Wi’ the tenderness o’ roses;
Bless your dreams; guid-night, guid-night!
Gae to sleep, then, bonnie babie,
Gae to sleep, my bairn, and dream,
While the lily-buds are rockin’,
Rockin’, rockin’ on the stream.
