Today's Beautiful Gem: A Welsh lullaby (by an anonymous author)

"Sleep, my babe, lie still and slumber,
All through the night;
Guardian angels God will lend thee,
All through the night;
Soft the drowsy hours are creeping,
Hill and vale in slumber sleeping,
Mother dear her watch is keeping,
All through the night.

"God is here, thou'lt not be lonely,
All through the night;
'Tis not I who guards thee only,
All through the night;
Night's dark shades will soon be over,
Still my watchful care shall hover,
God with me His watch is keeping,
All through the night."

Note: For the rest of the week, in honor of Mother's Day, I will
post mother and child gems.

Om Santih! Peace! - J. K. Mohana Rao
