The Virgin's Slumber Song (Maria Wiegenlied)

Amid the roses, Mary sits and rocks her Jesus child
While amid the tree tops
Sighs the breeze so warm and mild
And soft and sweetly
Sings a bird upon the bow
Ah baby, dear one
Slumber now

Amid the roses, Mary sits and rocks her Jesus child
While amid the tree tops
Sighs the breeze so warm and mild
And soft and sweetly
Sings a bird upon the bow
Ah baby, dear one
Slumber now

Happy is thy laughter
Holy is thy silent rest
Lay thy head in slumber
Fondly upon thy mother's breast

Ah baby, dear one
Slumber now
Ah baby, dear one
Slumber now
