Rock-a-by, hush-a-by, baby, my dear,

Nothing can harm you, for mother is near.

The journey is short, and the stars twinkle bright

O'er your path into Byloland, baby, good-night.

Rock-a-by, hush-a-by, baby, my pet,

Grasses that cover your pathway are wet

With dewdrops that sparkle like jewels so bright,

Rock-a-by, hush-a-by, baby, good-night.

Rock-a-by, hush-a-by, sweetheart of mine,

Rest from their prattle those red lips of thine.

Bridges you cross in your Byloland flight

Sway to your footsteps, my baby, good-night.

Rock-a-by, hush-a-by, baby, my love,

Angels are watching thy cradle above.

Thy feet into Byloland's dreamy delight

Have entered, then rest, little pilgrim, good-night.
