Mid the cattle standing round.
Beauty mine, sleep peacefully;
Heaven's monarch! see,
With my veil I cover thee.
Lullaby, my Spouse, my Lord,

Lo! the shepherd band draws nigh;
Horns they ply
Mid the cattle standing round.
Beauty mine, sleep peacefully;
Heaven's monarch! see,
With my veil I cover thee.
Lullaby, my Spouse, my Lord,
Fairest Child
Pure, undefiled,
Thou by all my soul adored.
Lo! the shepherd band draws nigh;
Horns they ply
