SWEET AND LOW. 



TEACHER'S EDITION. 



Sweet and Low, Sweet and Low, 



Wind of the western sea, 

 Low, low breathe and blow, 



Wind of the western sea, 

 O'er the rolling waters go, 

 Come from the dying moon and blow, 

 Blow him again to me While my little one, 

 While my little one, sleeps. 



Sleep and rest, Sleep and rest, 



Father will come to thee soon, 

 Rest, rest on mother's breast, 



Father will come to thee soon, 

 Father will come to his babe in the nest, 

 Silver sails all out of the west, 



Under the silver moon 

 Sleep my little one sleep my pretty one, sleep.

 Underneath de big roun' moon;

 Don' yo' make de least-es' soun';

 Keep ez still ez yo' can be ; 

 Close yo' eyes so dey can't see, 

 Den jes' leave de res' ter me: 

 Sleep, ma little baby 'Coon. 

 Rockin' in de win', so slow,
