All around is hushed in slumber,
Earth is still, it’s labors close;
While the hours in song we number
Soothing thee to sweet repose.
Peaceful, peaceful be thy sleep,
Sweetly dream, nor wake to weep.

Calmly on thy pillow sleeping,
Naught of ill disturbs thy breast;
Angel guards their watch are keeping,
Soothing still thy soul to rest.
Peaceful, peaceful be thy sleep,
Sweetly dream, nor wake to weep.

O’er the hills in splendor breaking
Day is seen, the shadows flee:
Now to deeds of love awaking,
Rise and join our tuneful glee.
Peaceful glide thy youth away,
Peaceful be life’s fleeting day.

P. P. Bliss
