Dormi, Jesu! Mater ridet
Quae tam dulcem somnum videt,
       &nbspDormi, Jesu! blandule!
Si non dormis, Mater plorat,
Inter fila cantans orat,
       &nbspBlande, veni, somnule.

ENGLISH

Sleep, sweet babe! my cares beguiling:
Mother sits beside thee smiling;
       &nbspSleep, my darling, tenderly!
If thou sleep not, mother mourneth,
Singing as her wheel she turneth:
       &nbspCome, soft slumber, balmily!
