Baby dear, Mama’s here,
Watching o’er your slumber.
Dream, my child, until the dawn
Wakes the daisies on the lawn.

Dream you float in a boat,
Under starry heavens;
Dream of brooks and singing birds,
Scented breezes, tender words.

Dream of all, great and small,
Things serene and lovely;
Fairies, lambs, and butterflies,
Sleepy clouds in summer skies.

Sleep all night, in my sight,
Though you’re off in dreamland;
Then, tomorrow, with the sun,
Back to Mama, little one!
