Hush-a-Bye, Little One, Sleep. Copyright, 1894. by Widmer-Stigler Music Tub. Co. Words by Cy Warman. Music by Joe Newman. 
Nature is sinking to peaceful repose, hush-a-bye, little one, sleep; Sweetly the dewdrop's asleep on the rose, hush-a-bye, little one, sleep; Heaven shield father, where'er he may be, whether on land or the billowy sea, And bring him back to his baby and me, hush-a-bye, little one, sleep. 
Lightly the ripples play over the rill, hush-a-bye, little one sleep: Singing the roses to sleep on the hill, hush-a-bye, little one, sleep; [winds Softly the katydid sings in the vines, up from the lowlands the murmuring Steal thro' the stillness to play with the pines, hush-a-bye, little one, sleep.
