A LULLABY.

SLEEP, my child, the shadows fall; Silent darkness reigns o'er all; Bird and bloom are lost to sight In the folded arms of night; Stars from out the cloud towers peep; Sleep, my darling, sweetly sleep.
Sleep. Thy Father guards thy rest; Lay thy head upon his breast; Safer than these arms which hold thee, His dear love will firm enfold thee; Higher love than mine shall he Give, beloved one, to thee.
Sleep. The waves have long been sleeping. Angels o'er thee watch are keeping. O'er us both the pale stars shine With a radiance half divine. Slumbers, innocent and light, Fall from heaven on thee to-night. —Chambers' Journal.
