Original text and translations
English text
- Sweet and low, sweet and low
- Wind of the western sea,
- Low, low, breathe and blow,
- Wind of the western sea!
- Over the rolling waters go,
- Come from the dying moon, and blow,
- Blow him again to me,
- While my little one, while my pretty one, sleeps.
- Sleep and rest, sleep and rest,
- Father will come to thee soon;
- Rest, rest, on mother's breast,
- Father will come to thee soon;
- Father will come to his babe in the nest,
- Silver sails all out of the west
- Under the silver moon!
- Sleep my little one, sleep my pretty one, sleep.
Lord Alfred Tennyson (1809-1892)
