Sweet and Low

¹Sweet and low, sweet and low,

²Wind of the western sea,

³Low, low, breathe and blow,

⁴Wind of the western sea!

⁵Over the rolling waters go,

⁶Come from the dying moon, and blow,

⁷Blow him again to me;

⁸While my little one, while my pretty one, sleeps.

⁹Sleep and rest, sleep and rest,

¹⁰Father will come to thee soon;

¹¹Rest, rest, on mother's breast,

¹²Father will come to thee soon;

¹³Father will come to his babe in the nest,

¹⁴Silver sails all out of the west

¹⁵Under the silver moon;

¹⁶Sleep, my little one, sleep, my pretty one, sleep.
