Cradle Song

(Johannes Brahms)



So goodnight now once more

With roses roofed o'er

All tied up with boughs

Slip under the clothes

When the morning shall break

Please the Lord, I will wake

When the morning shall break

Please the Lord, I will wake



Good night then once more

By angels watched o'er

In dreams thou shall see

A fair Christmas tree

Go to sleep, close thine eyes

Thou shall see paradise

Go to sleep, close thine eyes

Thou shall see paradise



Go to sleep, close your eyes

Thou shall see paradise
