Sleep now my love, my sweetheart you are Hide the pearls of your eyes away from me far All is so silent as in the grave this now is Sleep, and each tear be gone by a kiss Still my love, the golden time this now is Then, well, the dawn is never like this And when your worries are there in your head Then you won't so easy slumber in bed Sleep now my love and if you hear Know that your love always be near If late or early I'll watch you And hope that you would do that too Now she's asleep, as a baby she lies Dreaming of wisdom, horror she cries I lie here holding on so tight Caressing, relieving her from all her fright Twilight dreaming Sleep now my love, all problems you'll hide Slumber, into the dreams you'll glide Pictures appear, unclear though it seems Now is silence, you've entered the dream
