Sweet and low, sweet and low,
 Wind of western sea,
Low, low, breathe and blow,
 Wind the western sea!
Over the rolling waters go,
Come the dying moon, and blow,
 Blow him again me;
While my little one, while my pretty one, sleeps.

Sleep and rest, sleep and rest,
 Father will to thee soon;
Rest, rest, on mother's breast,
  will come to thee soon;
Father will come to babe in the nest,
Silver sails all out of west
 Under the silver moon:
Sleep, my little one, sleep, my pretty one, sleep.
