Sweet and low, sweet and low,
Wind of the western sea,
Over the rolling waters go,
Come from the drooping moon--
And blow him again to me
While my little one sleeps.
Sleep and rest, sleep and rest,
Father will come to thee soon--
Rest, rest on mother's breast,
Father will come to thee soon--
Father will come to the babe in his nest.
Silver sails all out of the west,
Under the moon, the silver moon:
Sleep, my little one--
Sleep, my pretty one, sleep.
ARIA.--SORGETE E IN SI BEL GIORNO--(Maometto) ROSSINI.
Sorgete e in si bel giorno
O prodi mici guerrieri
A Maometto intornuo
Venite ad e sultar.
Duce di tanti eroi
Crollar faro' gl' Imperi
E volero con voi
Del mondo a trionfar.
