The immortal 400-year-old lullaby by Thomas Dekker (1603), sung to children across England for centuries before the Beatles made it famous again. Pure, tender, and heartbreakingly beautiful in its original form. Performed here with nothing but a lone female voice and delicate Celtic harp, exactly as a mother would have sung it beside a cradle in Stuart England. Let it carry you to sleep. Full lyrics below.
(Lyrics)
Golden slumbers kiss your eyes,
Smiles awake you when you rise.
Sleep, pretty wantons, do not cry,
And I will sing a lullaby.
Golden slumbers kiss your eyes,
Smiles awake you when you rise.
Sleep, pretty wantons, do not cry,
And I will sing a lullaby.
Care you know not, therefore sleep,
While I o'er you watch do keep.
Sleep, pretty wantons, do not cry,
And I will sing you a lullaby.
