Brahm’s Lullaby
Lullaby and good night, with roses bedight
With lilies o’er spread is baby’s wee bed
Lay thee down now and rest, may thy slumber be blessed
Lay thee down now and rest, may thy slumber be blessed

Lullaby and good night, thy mother’s delight
Bright angels beside my darling abide
They will guard thee at rest, thou shalt wake on my breast

“Brahms’ Lullaby,” composed in 1868 by Johannes Brahms, is one of the most beloved cradle songs of all time. Its gentle melody and tender lyrics have soothed generations of children to sleep around the world.
