Song of the week Brahm's Lullaby also known as The Cradle Song
The lyrics from the first verse are from a collection of German Folk poems called Des Knaben Wunderhorn. The second stanza was written by George Scherein in 1849.
The lullaby was first sung by Brahm's friend, Bertha Faber, because it was written to celebrate the birth of her son. Brahms had been in love with her when she was younger and made the melody to suggest a song she used to sing to him.
Traditional English Lyrics
Lullaby and goodnight
With roses bedlight
With lilies o'er spread
Is baby's wee bed.
Lay thee down now and rest
May thy slumber be blessed.
2nd Verse
Lullaby and goodnight
Thy Mother's delight
Bright angels beside
My darling abide.
They will guard thee at rest
Thou shalt wake on my breast.
