lyrics

Mary sits in the rosegrove
And rocks her child Jesus,
Softly through the leaves
Blows a warm summer wind.

At her feet sings
A colorful little bird :
Sleep, child, my sweet,
Just go to sleep!

Lovely is your smile,
Lovely is your joy in slumber,
Lay your tired little head
Against your mother’s breast!
Sleep, child, my sweet,
Just go to sleep!
