My mulberry one my golden sun | B |
The rose shall sing thee lullabies | A |
My pretty cosset lambkin | B |
And thou shalt swing in an almond tree | C |
With a flood of moonbeams rocking thee | C |
A silver boat in a golden sea | C |
My velvet love my nestling dove | D |
My own pomegranate blossom | E |

The stork shall guard thee passing well | F |
All night my sweet my dimple feet | G |
And bring thee myrrh and asphodel | F |
My gentle rain of springtime | H |
And for thy slumbrous play shall twine | B |
The diamond stars with an emerald vine | B |
To trail in the waves of ruby wine | B |
My myrtle bloom my heart's perfume | I |
My little chirping sparrow | J |

And when the morn wakes up to see | C |
My apple bright my soul's delight | K |
The partridge shall come calling thee | C |
My jar of milk and honey | C |
Yes thou shalt know what mystery lies | A |
In the amethyst deep of the curtained skies | A |
If thou wilt fold thy onyx eyes | A |
You wakeful one you naughty son | B |
You cooing little turtle | F |
