A Lullaby by I. Bacheler

 A Lullaby

Sing a tiny lullaby tune
Of a little baby's silver spoon
That mama bit when she was small,
And that's the end and that is all-
Sleep, sleep, sleep,
Your mama once was a baby.

Sing a sleepy hushaby song
Of a little shoe about so long
That papa wore when he was small,
And that's the end an that is all-
Sleep, sleep, sleep,
Your papa once was a baby.

Dream my darling pretty dreams
As light and happy as the moon's beams
Of your fluffy dog and your new blue ball,
And that's the end and that is all-
Sleep, sleep, sleep,
Oh, you are my darling baby.
