Lullaby

The idle life I lead
Is like a pleasant sleep
Wherein I rest and heed
The dreams that by me sweep

And still of all my dreams
In turn so swiftly past
Each in its fancy seems
A nobler than the last

And every eve I say
Noting my step in bliss
That I have known no day
In all my life like this

Now 'mid shadows deep
Falls blessed sleep
Like dew from the summer sky;
And the whole earth dreams
In the moon's soft beams
While night breathes a lullaby

Now 'mid shadows deep
Falls blessed sleep
Like dew from the summer sky;
And the whole earth dreams
In the moon's soft beams
While night breathes a lullaby

[Outro]
Sleep without fear
Sleep without fear
Sleep without fear
Sleep without fear
Sleep without fear
Sleep without fear
Sleep without fear
Sleep without fear
Sleep without fear
