Rock-a-by, hush-a-by, baby, my dear,
Nothing can harm you, for mother is near.
The journey is short, and the stars twinkle bright
O'er your path into Byloland, baby, good-night.
Rock-a-by, hush-a-by, baby, my pet,
Grasses that cover your pathway are wet
With dewdrops that sparkle like jewels so bright,
Rock-a-by, hush-a-by, baby, good-night.
Rock-a-by, hush-a-by, sweetheart of mine,
Rest from their prattle those red lips of thine.
Bridges you cross in your Byloland flight
Sway to your footsteps, my baby, good-night.
Rock-a-by, hush-a-by, baby, my love,
Angels are watching thy cradle above.
Thy feet into Byloland's dreamy delight
Have entered, then rest, little pilgrim, good-night.
