Leah`s  Lullaby

 

 

sleep mein  baby sleep

 

your father hüt`  the sheep

 

your mother schüttelt's  Bäumelein

 

there falls herab a Träumelein

 

sleep, mein  baby, sleep

 

 

 sleep mein baby sleep

 

the ditches sind so deep

 

the trees sing tiefe eager dreams

 

the moon sends  down bestäubte beams

 

sleep mein baby sleep

 

 

Sleep mein baby sleep,

 

in bed are all the sheep

 

along the silent eastern sky

 

the stars parade a last bye-bye

 

sleep mein baby sleep
