While you sleep,

We keep vigil

At your side.

We do not chide you

For sleeping so long,

We are not fearful,

Tearful,

For we are strong,

But we do long

For you to wake.

While you sleep

Keep us close to you,

Dream sweet dreams

Of silver streams,

That make sweet music

As they gurgle

On their way.

And on the day

You wake

Take the time to smile at us.
