Why are you crying,
Dear little baby;
That’s only the wind
That you hear outside;
It may have scared you,
But it will not hurt you;
You are quite safe,
We heard when you cried.

Please don’t be crying,
Dear little baby;
Everyone else; is
Sleeping as well;
We are beside you,
Trying to calm you,
What’s on your mind,
Is there something to tell?

Something is wrong,
Dear little baby;
You are behaving,
silently good;
Oh no! you are sleeping
While we are freezing,
We would go back
to bed if we could;

But we have to get up now,
Dear little baby;
While you can continue
to sleep like a log;
And if tonight,
is sleepless like last night,
Then, Dear little baby,
You’ll sleep with the dog!
