Baby girl, my beauty! now hush while I sing. br Birdies in the treetops have folded each wing. br Pussy in the corner lies curl'd in a heap; br Bonnie and Bess in the barn are asleep, br Long ago sank the great sun in the west; br Pillow as calmy your head on my breast; br Stars are softly twinkling afar in the skies, br Drop the pink curtains down over your eyes! br br Baby girl, my beauty! now hush while I sing. br Birdies in the treetops have folded each wing. br Stars are softly twinkling afar in the skies, br Drop the pink curtains down over your eyes! br br Baby girl, my beauty! the Angels are near, br Watching my darling so precious and dear! br Birdies now are dreaming in each dawny nest, br Dream then, my birdie, on Mother's fond breast.
