O sleep, sweet babe, Though the snow is cold and deep around, Just sleep, dear babe, Through the wind's so keen and icy sound. Oh hush, sweet babe, There is nothing you should fear, Just hush, dear babe, For my love is always here. And I will hold you, safe in my arms, So no evil can touch you, You can come to no harm. Wake now, dear babe Now the night is nearly through, Wake now, sweet babe, There's a world that's waiting here for you.
