CRADLE SONG (Wiegenlied)
aka BRAHMS' LULLABY
- words translated from Karl Simrock by Arthur Westbrook
- music by Johannes Brahms

Lullaby and goodnight
With roses bedight
Creep into thy bed
There pillow thy head
If God will thou shalt wake
When the morning doth break
If God will thou shalt wake
When the morning doth break

Lullaby and goodnight
Those blue eyes close tight
Bright angels are near
So sleep without fear
They will guard thee from harm
With fair dreamland's sweet charm
They will guard thee from harm
With fair dreamland's sweet charm

And here's another adaptation:

CRADLE SONG (Wiegenlied)
aka BRAHMS' LULLABY
- music by Johannes Brahms

Lullaby and goodnight
With roses be dight
With lilies bedecked
Is baby's wee bed

Lay thee down now and rest
May thy slumber be blest
Lay thee down now and rest
May thy slumber be blest
