20 Lullabies to sing to babies
1 All the pretty horses Hush-a-bye don't you cry, Go to sleep-y, little baby. When you wake you shall have All the pretty little horses. Blacks and bays, dapple grays, Coach and six white horses. Hush-a-bye don't you cry, Go to sleep-y, little baby 2 All through the night Sleep my child and peace attend thee, All through the night Soft the drowsy hours are creeping, Hill and dale in slumber sleeping, Angels watching, e'er around thee, All through the night Soft the drowsy hours are creeping, Hill and dale in slumber sleeping 3. Blake’s cradle song Sweet dreams, form a shade O’er my lovely infant’s head Sweet dreams of pleasant streams By happy, silent, moony beams.

Golden slumbers kiss thine eyes - 2 Golden slumbers kiss your eyes, Smiles awake thee when you rise. Sleep, little pigeon and fold your wings, Little blue pigeon with velvet eyes.

11 O men from the fields O men from the fields, come gently within tread softly softly, O men coming in Mavourneen is going from me and from you where Mary will fold him in mantle of blue. From reek of the smoke and cold of the floor And the peering of things across the half-door. O men from the fields Softly softly come through, Mary puts round him her mantle of blue.
12 Hush, little baby Hush, little baby, don't say a word. Papa's gonna buy you a mockingbird And if that mockingbird won't sing, Papa's gonna buy you a diamond ring And if that diamond ring turns brass, Papa's gonna buy you a looking glass And if that looking glass gets broke, Papa's gonna buy you a billy goat And if that billy goat won't pull, Papa's gonna buy you a cart and bull And if that cart and bull turn over, Papa's gonna buy you a dog named Rover And if that dog named Rover won't barkPapa's gonna buy you a horse and cart And if that horse and cart fall down, You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town.

18 Walter Scott’s Lullaby of an Infant Scottish Chief Oh hush thee, my baby, thy sire was a knight, Thy mother a lady, both lovely and bright; The woods and the glens from the towers which we see they all are belonging, dear baby, to thee. Oh fear not the bugle, though loudly it blows, I t calls but the warders who guard thy repose, Their bows would be bended, their blades would be red E’er the step of a foeman draws near to they bed.
19 William Barne’s Dorsetshire Lullaby The rook’s nest do rock on the treetop Where few foes can stand The martin’s is high and is deep In the steep cliff of sand; But thou, love, asleeping Where footsteps might come to thy bed, Hast father and mother to watch thee And shelter thy head. Lullaby, Lilybrow, lie asleep. Blest be thy rest. And some birds do keep under roofing Their young from the storm And some with nesthoodings of moss And of wool do lie waarm. And we will look well to the house-roof That o’er thee might leak And the beast that might beat on they window Shall not smite thy cheek. Lullaby, Lilybrow, lie asleep. Blest Be thy rest.
