Sleep, My Darling, Sleep: A Gentle Lullaby for Little Ones

Sleep, my darling, sleep tight.
All the lights have dimmed tonight.
Birds are quiet in the trees,
Fish are sleeping in the seas.
Moon shines bright up in the sky,
Peeking through the window high.
Close your little eyes, my dear,
Sleep, my darling, sleep tight.

In the house, all’s still and clear,
In the kitchen, cellar near.
Doors don’t creak, it’s calm and deep,
Even mice behind stoves sleep.
Someone sighs beyond the wall,
But it matters not at all.
Close your little eyes, my dear,
Sleep, my darling, sleep tight.

Sweetly, my little one rests:
No worries, no anxious quests.
Toys and sweets are there for you,
Games and laughter, plenty too.
All’s arranged with love and care,
Just to keep you free from care.
May it always stay this way!
Sleep, my darling, sleep tight!
Sleep tight… Sleep tight…
