Sleep, baby mine, Desire. By Sidney, Sir Philip. Sleep, baby mine, Desire, nurse Beauty singeth, Thy cries, O baby, set mine head on aching; The babe cries, 'Way, thy love doth keep me waking'. Lully, lully, my babe, hope cradle bringeth Unto my children always good rest taking; The babe cries, 'Way, thy love doth keep me waking'. Since, baby mine, from me thy watching springeth, Sleep then a little, pap content is making; The babe cries, 'Nay, for that abide I waking'.
