Lyrics by：Stephen C. Foster

Composed by：Stephen Foster

Slumber my darling thy mother is near

Guarding thy dreams from all terror and fear

Sunlight has pass'd and the twilight has gone

Slumber my darling the night's coming on

Sweet visions attend thy sleep

Fondest dearest to me

While others their revels keep

I will watch over thee

Slumber my darling the birds are at rest

Wandering dews by the flow'rs are caressed

Slumber my darling I'll wrap thee up warm

Pray that the angels will shield thee from harm

Slumber my darling 'till morn's blushing ray

Brings to the world the glad tidings of day

Fill the dark void with thy dreamy delight

Slumber thy mother will guard thee tonight

Thy pillow shall sacred be

From all outward alarms

Thou thou are the world to me

In thine innocent charms

Slumber my darling the birds are at rest

Wandering dews by the flow'rs are caressed

Slumber my darling I'll wrap thee up warm

Pray that the angels will shield thee from harm
