Samuel Taylor Coleridge — The Virgins Cradle-hymn

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!
