Lyrics
?Sweet and Low?
Poem by Alfred, Lord Tennyson
Music by Capers Simmons
VERSE I
Sweet and low, sweet and low
Wind of the Western Sea
Low, low, breathe and blow
Wind of the Western Sea!
Over the rolling waters go
Come from the dying moon, and blow
Blow him again to me;
While my pretty one, while my pretty one sleeps.
CHORUS
Sweet and low, sweet and low
Wind of the Western Sea
Low, low, breathe and blow
Zephyr blow ever so sweet and low
VERSE II
Sleep and rest, sleep and rest
Father will come to thee soon;
Rest, rest on mother's breast,
Father will come to thee soon;
Father will come to his babe in the nest
Silver sails all out of the West
Under the silver moon
Sleep my little one, sleep my pretty one, sleep.
~ CHORUS ~
CHORUS
Sweet and low, sweet and low
Come from the dying moon, and blow
Low, low, breathe and blow
Zephyr blow ever so sweet and low
