Welsh Folk Song — Lyrics: John Ceiriog Hughes
Sleep, my love, and peace attend thee
All through the night.
Guardian angels God will lend thee
All through the night.
Soft the drowsy hours are creeping,
Hill and dale in slumber steeping.
Love alone his watch is keeping
All through the night.
Though I roam a minstrel lonely
All through the night,
My true harp shall praise thee only
All through the night.
Love's young dream, alas, is over;
Yet my strains of love shall hover
Near the presence of my lover,
All through the night.
Hark, a solemn bell is ringing
Clear through the night.
Thou, my love, art heavenward winging
Home through the night.
Earthly dust from off thee shaken,
Soul immortal thou shalt waken
With thy last dim journey taken
Home through the night.
