Lyrics:

Sunshine and rain, yes, both these must be,
If from the seed shall grow forth a tree,
But for my darling two suns are nigh,
So hush thy weeping, hush lullaby.

Eyes of thy mother keep thee in sight,
Eyes dear and loving, suns of the night,
Even to pure hearts comes once a sigh,
So hush thy weeping, hush lullaby.

Stars now are peeping; cradled in peace,
Rocked into dreamland all cares shall cease,
Sorrows and troubles they will pass by;
Soon a new day dawns, hush lullaby.

Hush, lullaby, blow wind so light,
Hush, lullaby, sleep now, good night.
