LULLABY
(Based on Franz Peter Schubert's D 498, Op.98, No.2, 
Wiegenlied II "Schlafe, schlafe, holder süsser Knabe" - 1816)


Paul Robeson - 1958



Baby sleeping, in thy cradle swinging
Rocking gently by thy Mother's hand
Peaceful slumber rest is bringing
Dreams shall waft thee on to Slumberland

Baby sleeping, thou my only treasure
On thy pillow, rest secure and warm
All blessings, all thy treasures
Shall be gathered in your Mother's arms

Schlafe, schlafe, holder, süsser Knabe
Leise wiegt dich deiner Mutter Hand
Sanfte Ruhe, milde Labe
Bringt dir schwebend dieses Wiegenband
