SLUMBER PEACEFULLY.
Copyright, 1892, by Willis Woodward & Co.
Words and Music by Joseph Hart.
I'll serenade to-night! I'll serenade to-night! by the moon's bright rays I'll sing,
Oh, my own, mine alone, may you slumber peacefully, dream of me, only me!
When sleep from your eyes hath flown, with your thoughts you're all alone,
Think, oh, think, my love, of me, And let me come to thee, my own.
Chorus.
Sleep, my darling, sleep! peaceful be thy dreams,
Angels will guard thee, sweetheart, and my love will keep, for me.
Sleep, my darling, sleep! peaceful be thy dreams,
Angels will guard thee, sweetheart, And my love will keep, for me.
