Slumber, my darling, thy mother is near,
Am           C               Am         G
Guarding thy dreams from all terror and fear,
C            Am             C        Am  C
Sunlight has pass'd and the twilight has gone,
Am          C            G              C
Slumber, my darling, the night's coming on.

Sweet visions attend thy sleep,
G        C   G      C
Fondest, dearest to me,
G     C            G      C
While others their revels keep,

I will watch over thee.

Slumber, my darling, the birds are at rest,
Am            C           Am             G
The wandering dews by the flow'rs are caressed,
C           Am            C         Am C
Slumber, my darling, I'll wrap thee up warm,
    Am            C           G                C
And pray that the angels will shield thee from harm.

Thy pillow shall sacred be

From all outward alarms;
