1 Sleep, my sweet, my darling sweet,
I will watch the while,
That no intruding step shall come
Near the Slumber-isle.
I will chase the honeybee,
Humming in his joy,
Far away, my sweet, from thee,
Lest he should annoy,
And should break thy calm repose;
Or new sweets to sip,
Deeming it his fav'rite rose,
Nestle on thy lip.
2 Sleep, my sweet, tho' here 'tis night,
Now thine eyes are hid,
And I'm longing for the light
Trembling 'neath each lid;
Soon thy dream will pass away,
Thou wilt ope thine eyes;
Ah! then 'twill be a golden day,
When two suns arise!
Sleep, my sweet, my darling sweet,
I will watch the while,
Till, at last. thy fairy feet
Leave the Slumber-isle.
