## The words

Red lies the sun in the west, little heart,  
Cold is the dew on the hill; Creep warm and  
close to my breast, little heart,  
Sleep and be still: Out of the shadows,  
come beautiful dreams, Out of the meadows,  
the song of the streams: Sweet o’ the world,  
they are whispering low, Lullaby,  
Lullaby O!  
Stars are beginning to shine, little heart,  
Lit by the angels above: Lay your dear head  
against mine, little heart, Pillowed in love.  
Out of the bushes, come beautiful dreams,  
Out of the rushes, the song of the streams;  
Sweet o’ the world, they are murmuring low,  
Lullaby, Lullaby O!  
Red lies the sun in the west, little heart,  
Cold is the dew on the hill; Creep warm and  
close to my breast, little heart,  
Sleep and be still: Out of the shadows,  
come beautiful dreams, Out of the meadows,  
the song of the streams: Sweet o’ the world,  
they are whispering low, Lul laby O!  
Stars are beginning to shine, little heart,  
Lit by the angels above: Lay your dear head  
against mine, little heart, Pil lowed in love.  
Out of the bushes, come beautiful dreams,  
Out of the rushes, the song of the streams;  
Sweet o’ the world, they are murmuring low,  
Lullaby, Lullaby O!
