lyrics

A Cradle Song

Sweet dreams, form a shade
O’er my lonely infant’s head,
Sweet dreams of pleasant streams
By happy silent moony beams.
Sweet sleep, with soft down
Wave thy brows an infant crown.
Sweet sleep, Angel mild,
Hover o’er my happy child.
Sweet smiles, in the night
Hover over my delight;
Sweet smiles, Mother’s smiles,
All the live long night beguiles.
Sweet moans, dovelike sighs
Chase not slumber from thy eyes.
Sweet moans, sweeter smiles
All the dovelike moans beguiles.
Sleep, sleep, happy child,
All creation slept and smil’d;
Sleep, sleep, happy sleep,
While o’er thee thy mother weep.
Sweet babe, in thy face
Holy image I can trace.
Sweet babe, once like thee
Thy maker lay and wept for me:
Wept for me, for thee, for all,
When he was an infant small.
Thou his image ever see,
Heavenly face that smiles on thee:
Smiles on thee, on me, on all,
Who became an infant small.
Infant smiles are his own smiles,
Heaven & earth to peace beguiles.
...
UNA CANCION DE CUNA

Dulces sueños, formen una pantalla
Sobre la cabeza de mi amado niño,
Dulces sueños de placenteros arroyos
Por los silenciosos felices rayos lunares.
Dulce dormir, con suaves plumas
Teje una corona infantil para sus sienes.
Dulce dormir, ligero Ángel
Flota sobre mi niño alegre
Dulces sonrisas, en la noche
Flotan sobre mi regocijo;
Dulces sonrisas, sonrisas de Madre,
Dulces gemidos, suspiros cual paloma,
No destierres el sueño de tus ojos,
Dulces, gemidos, aún más dulces sonrisas
Todos los sollozos de paloma encantan.
Duerme, duerme alegre niño,
Toda la creación durmió y sonrió;
Duerme, duerme, alegre dormir
Mientras sobre ti la madre llora.
Dulce nene, en tu cara
La Santa imagen puedo rastrear.
Dulce nene, una vez como tú
El Creador yació y lloró por mí:
Lloró por mí, por ti, por todos,
Cuando era un pequeño niño.
Tú si su imagen algún día vez,
Su cara celestial que te sonríe:
Te sonríe a ti, a mí, a todos,
Quien se convirtió en un pequeño niño.
Las sonrisas infantiles son sus propias sonrisas
Al Cielo y la tierra la paz trae.
