Babe, Darling, hold on one more day
Wait till the sun has sunk away
And in the Night with my dark touch I'll soothe
My Baby, last through one more hour
Wait till dew bejewels each flower
And in the Dark with my fey kiss I'll prove
To you, my Dear, that all will be well
Fairy-tales I will tell
And lullabies to comfort you to sleep
Babe, Darling, doze the night away
So that in dreams I'll come and play
And in the Night my kiss is yours to keep.
