H. F. S. [Music]
1. Sleep, baby sleep! / Dad is not nigh, / Tossed on the deep, / Lul-lul-a-by! / Moon shining bright, / Dropping of dew. / Owls hoot all night / To-whit! to-whoo!
2. Sleep, baby sleep! / Dad is away, / Tossed on the deep, / Looking for day. / In the hedge row / Glow-worms alight, / Rivulets flow, / All through the night.
3. Sleep, baby sleep! / Dad is afar, / Tossed on the deep, / Watching a star. / Clock going -- tick, / Tack -- in the dark. / On the hearth-brick, / Dies the last spark.
4. Sleep, baby sleep! / What! not a wink! / Dad on the deep, / What will he think? / Baby dear, soon / Daddy will come, / Bringing red shoon / For baby at home.
