Winkum
Winkum, winkum, shut your eyes,
While I sing sweet lullabies,
For the dew is falling soft,
Lights are flick’ring up aloft,
And the moon is peeping over
Yonder hilltop, capped with clover.
—
Chickens long have gone to rest,
Birds lie snug within their nest,
And my darling soon will be
Sleeping like a chickadee;
For with only half a try,
Winkum, Winkum shuts her eyes.
—
Winkum, Winkum shut your eyes.
