Sleep on sweet babe, lest you should see br The depth of man`s iniquity br His measure of what life is worth br Upon this wrecked and war-torn earth br br Yes slumber on and feel no pain br Nor see the evil one to reign br Do not your eyes be open wide br Stay sleeping in your crib and hide br br Sleep on sweet babe stay soft and pure br No human suffering to endure br Keep shut your eyes and slumber deep br Your precious innocence to keep br br And still`ed be your tiny world br Your senses to remain unfurled br Thus not to see, nor feel, nor hear br This world of sadness, pain and fearbr br Valerie Dohrenbr br
