Shut your eyes, my darling!
When the shadows creep,
When the flowers are closing
Little ones must sleep.
Don't be frightened, Dolly!
In my arms you lie;
Nestle down and slumber
To my lullaby
Dolly is so active,
Always full of fun,
Wakeful still and smiling
E'en when day is done
Hush thee now, my dearest,
To my slumber-song;
Children lose their roses,
Sitting up too long.
