"This is putting the baby to sleep," said Concelio, beginning to sing in her own tongue, the while she touched a few minor chords of the guitar:

[H]Alo-o-o-o-o-o-o-a!

Swinging in the trees,

Swinging with the breeze,

Baby, go to sleep.

Away, you naughty flies,

Don't sting my baby's eyes.

She must sleep—sleep.

Alo-o-o-o-o-o-o-a!

"That tune would put anybody to sleep," said Nellie; "but it is pretty."
