Baby dear, Mama's here,
Watching o'er your slumber.
Dream, my child, until the dawn

Wakes the daisies on the lawn.
Dream you float in a boat,
Under starry heavens;

Dream of brooks and singing birds,
Scented breezes, tender words.
Dream of all, great and small,

Things serene and lovely;
Fairies, lambs, and butterflies,
Sleepy clouds in summer skies.

Sleep all night, in my sight,
Though you're off in dreamland;
Then, tomorrow, with the sun,

Back to Mama, little one!
