Where is the road to Lullaby-land?

Where is the ferry to Dreamland-shore?

Here, little wanderer, take my hand,

Mother will show thee to Lullaby-land,

Mother will ferry her darling o’er

The sweet rocking waters to Dreamland-shore.

Soft lie the shadows in Lullaby-land,

Soft lap the waters by Dreamland-shore,

Sweet is the sound on that far-away strand

Of little keels grating along the sand,

And tenderly stealeth the moonlight o’er

The dear little children on Dreamland-shore.

Here, little weary one, take my hand,

Soon shall my dearie be far afloat;

Mother’s lap is Lullaby-land,

Mother’s arms are the empty boat,

Waiting to carry her darling o’er

The sweet rocking waters to Dreamland-shore.
