Full Lyrics
Goodnight! goodnight! the world is still;
The stars their watch are keeping;
The hum of day has died away;
And all the flowers are sleeping.
Goodnight!
Goodnight! goodnight! the mountain stream
Is singing ’midst the clover;
The fairies quaff from lily cups
With nectar running over.
Goodnight!
Goodnight! goodnight! sweet dreams be thine!
And may the angels bending
From heaven above, behold in love
Thy sleep, protection lending.
Goodnight!
Goodnight! goodnight! when thou shalt sleep
That sleep which knows no waking,
May seraph care conduct thee where
The eternal morn is breaking!
Goodnight!
