Dormi, Jesu! Mater ridet <br />Quae tam dulcem somnum videt, <br />Dormi, Jesu! blandule! <br />Si non dormis, Mater plorat, <br />Inter fila cantans orat, <br />Blande, veni, somnule. <br /> <br />ENGLISH. <br /> <br />Sleep, sweet babe! my cares beguiling: <br />Mother sits beside thee smiling; <br />Sleep, my darling, tenderly! <br />If thou sleep not, mother mourneth, <br />Singing as her wheel she turneth: <br />Come, soft slumber, balmily!<br /><br />Samuel Taylor Coleridge<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-virgin-s-cradle-hymn-copied-from-a-print-of-the-virgin-in-a-roman-catholic-village-in-germany/
