Croon away, croon away, set cup and spoon away, Shadows of evening have driven warm noon away ; Sailing through stars floats the boat of the moon away, Lower and lower sinks my tender tune away. Sleep away, sleep away, now no more weep away, Danger and fear from his cradle shall keep away, Till o’er the hill-tops the morning shall peep away, Then once again shall my baby boy creep away. ek,‘Ohree Blind IMLS Dee how they run |a NURSERY .RHYMES 1, DOVE: SIXPENCE I love sixpence, pretty little sixpence, I love sixpence better than my life ; I spent a penny of it, I spent another, And took fourpence home to my wife.
