Sweetly She Sleeps My Alice Fair - John Mccormack

作曲：Foster

Sweetly she sleeps my Alice fair

Her cheek on the pillow pressed

Sweetly she sleeps while her Saxon hair

Like sunlight streams o'er her breast

Hush let her sleep I pray sweet breeze

Breathe low on the maple bough

Hush bright bird on her window trees

For sweetly she sleepeth now

Sweetly she sleeps my Alice fair

Her cheek on the pillow pressed

Sweetly she sleeps while her Saxon hair

Like sunlight streams o'er her breast

Sweetly she sleeps my Alice fair

Her cheek like the first May rose

Sweetly she sleeps and all her care

Is forgotten in soft repose

Hush though the earliest beams of light

Their wings in the blue sea dip

Let her sleep I pray while her dreams are bright

And a smile is about her lip

Sweetly she sleeps my Alice fair

Her cheek on the pillow pressed

Sweetly she sleeps while her Saxon hair

Like sunlight streams o'er her breast
