Lullaby

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.

When the blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.

Then the traveller in the dark
Thanks you for your tiny spark;
He could not see which way to go,
If you did not twinkle so.

In the dark blue sky you keep,
And often through my curtains peep,
For you never shut your eye
'Till the sun is in the sky.

Sleep, sleep, little one, sleep,
There outside are all the sheep;
Lambs are penned up, safe from harm.
Sleep my little one, cosy warm.
Sleep, sleep, little one, sleep.
Sleep, sleep, little one, sleep.

Sleep, sleep, little one, sleep,
See the sky is filled with sheep;
Like a flock of clouds drift by.
Led by a moonlit lullaby.
Sleep, sleep, little one, sleep.
Sleep, sleep, little one, sleep.

Rock a-bye, baby,
On the tree top,
When the wind blows,
The cradle will rock.
When the bow breaks,
The baby will fall,
Down will come baby,
Cradle and all!
