## The words

Oh, hush thee, my baby, the night is behind  
us, And black are the waters that sparkled so  
green. The moon o’er the combers looks downward  
to find us At rest in the hollows that rustle  
be tween. Where billow meets billow,  
there soft be thy pillow, Oh, weary young  
flipperling,  
curl at thy ease, The storm shall not wake thee,  
nor shark overtake thee, Asleep in the arms  
of the slow swinging seas.  
Then hush thee, my baby the night is be- hind  
us, And black are the waters that sparkled so  
green. The moon o’er the combers looks downward  
to find us, At rest in the hollows that rustle  
between, At rest in the hollows that rustle  
between.
