Sleep, little sister, a sweet, sweet sleep,

Dear little sister with eyes so blue,

Daylight is dying

And shadows are lying,

Lying where lately the sunbeams grew!

The pretty birds, little one, cease to sing,

Cosy are they in the mossy nest,

Birdies like we, dear,

Weary must be, dear,

Glad in the gloaming to get to rest!

The flowers are closing their petals fair,

Closing them up till the dawn of day,

Then in their beauty,

Doing their duty,

All will uncurtain their colours gay!

Sleep, little sister, a sweet, sweet sleep,

Dear little sister with eyes so blue,

Sleep without fear, love,

Sissie is near, love,

She will keep watch, and be guard over you!
