Hush! the waves are rolling in,
White with foam, white with foam;
Father toils amid the storm;
But baby sleeps at home.
Hush! the winds roar wild and deep,-
How they moan, how they moan!
Brother seeks the wandering sheep;
But baby sleeps at home.
Hush! the rain sweeps o'er the knowes,
Where they roam, where they roam;
Sister goes to seek the cows;
And the baby sleeps at home.
