Joseph McManners - Lullaby Lyrics

Slumber softly,dear love
neath the roses above
carnations shall keep
sweet watch over thy sleep
when the dawn's on the pane
god will wake thee again
when the dawn's on the pane
god will wake thee again

sleep my darling
so soft
light angels aloft
shall lead to bounce
of heavens fateless flounce
though shalt play by the streams
in the garden of dreams
though shalt play by the streams
in the garden of dreams.
