Sleep well, sweet child; lay down your head,
may troubled thoughts from you be led.
While slumber grants you peaceful rest,
may all your dreams be doubly blest
and sunshine greet your day ahead.

May joy and calm be gently spread
by sprites who dance around your bed
and sprinkle stardust on your breast.
Sleep well, sweet child.

May fairies weave with golden thread
a web that captures tears you've shed,
then fly those tears at my bequest
far from your warm, protected nest
and leave rose petals in their stead.
Sleep well, sweet child.
