Golden slumbers kiss your eyes


Thomas Sully
Child Asleep (The Rosebud)

Golden slumbers kiss your eyes

Golden slumbers kiss your eyes,

Smiles awake you when you rise;
Sleep, pretty wantons, do not cry,
And I will sing a lullaby,
Rock them, rock them, lullaby.
Care is heavy, therefore sleep you,
You are care, and care must keep you;
Sleep, pretty wantons, do not cry,
And I will sing a lullaby,
Rock them, rock them, lullaby.
