- Ninnananna. Ninnananna.
- Sleep, my Son,
- Oh sleep my belov'd One;
- Sleep, my Son,
- Sleep my belov'd One;
- Ninnananna. Ninnananna.
- Sleep, my Son,
- Oh sleep my belov'd One;
- Sleep, my Son,
- With lament in deepest sorrow,
- Thou foretell'st the Cross of the morrow:
- Now 'tis time for Thy soft sleeping.
- Slumber dear, and leave thy weeping.
- Grief will come as soon as may be,
- Sleep now my baby.
