Sleep then my princess, oh sleep Slowly the grey shadows creep Forest and meadow are still Peace falls on valley and hill Luna appears in the sky Holding her lantern on high Stars now their night watches keep Sleep then my princess, oh sleep Goodnight, goodnight
Sleep then my princess, oh sleep Calm flow the waters so deep So shall thy wary lids close Sink to a gentle repose Heaven thy slumber shall bless Angels their watch o’er thee keep Sleep then, my princess, oh sleep Goodnight! Goodnight!
