LULLABY OF THE SUN

The first baby ever to earth was born,I kissed with my beams on its natal morn.I made the dews sparkle, the tender buds bloom,The air of the morning with sweets to perfume.I love all the babies my sunbeams to see;I love them and all of the babies love me.The babies they hide from me always grow pale.None can be rosy and happy and haleBut those that I nourish with warmth and with light;E’en in the darkness I never leave quite;I shine ’round the corners from planet and moon,To whisper “Take courage, I’ll be with you soon.”Then, touching the morning cloud, touching the hills,I send out the twilight that wakens the rills.And more and more pouring my sunbeams afar,Till dew-drops are diamonds, and hid is each star;I wake all the babies my glories to see.I love them and all of the babies love me!

The first baby ever to earth was born,

I kissed with my beams on its natal morn.

I made the dews sparkle, the tender buds bloom,

The air of the morning with sweets to perfume.

I love all the babies my sunbeams to see;

I love them and all of the babies love me.

The babies they hide from me always grow pale.None can be rosy and happy and haleBut those that I nourish with warmth and with light;E’en in the darkness I never leave quite;I shine ’round the corners from planet and moon,To whisper “Take courage, I’ll be with you soon.”

The babies they hide from me always grow pale.

None can be rosy and happy and hale

But those that I nourish with warmth and with light;

E’en in the darkness I never leave quite;

I shine ’round the corners from planet and moon,

To whisper “Take courage, I’ll be with you soon.”

Then, touching the morning cloud, touching the hills,I send out the twilight that wakens the rills.And more and more pouring my sunbeams afar,Till dew-drops are diamonds, and hid is each star;I wake all the babies my glories to see.I love them and all of the babies love me!

Then, touching the morning cloud, touching the hills,

I send out the twilight that wakens the rills.

And more and more pouring my sunbeams afar,

Till dew-drops are diamonds, and hid is each star;

I wake all the babies my glories to see.

I love them and all of the babies love me!
