O hush, my love, speak not a word,
Your tears my love shall dry,
For you are all, my sweetest dear
Sleep now, sleep well, good night.

The sorrows of the passing day
Shall fade before your eyes
My love shall wipe away remorse,
Sleep now, sleep well, good night.

The frowns of daylight pass away,
My strength is yours to have,
So let my smile touch your lips,
Sleep now, sleep well, good night.

I now must go, but love, take heed:
I’ll always be with you,
Through every sorrow, strife, and pain,
Sleep now, sleep well, good night.

Now drift away to dreaming lands
Deep seas, and magic wood,
In dreams you’ll find your happiness
Sleep now, sleep well, good night.

So rest in comfort, I am here,
Let love your spirit fill,
Just close your eyes, put out the light
Sleep now, sleep well, good night.
