Sleep, My Little Dearest One

Sleep, my little dearest one,

I will guard thy sleep,

Safely little nearest one,

I will hold thee deep,

In the dark unfathomed sea

Where sweet dreams are made for thee.

Rest my little baby dear,

I will watch thy rest,

Thou shalt feel the waters near

Only on my breast;

In the strong and tender tide,

Still my love shall be thy guide.
