Rock-a-bye, my little owlet,
In thy mossy, swaying nest,
With thy little woodland brothers,
Close thine eyes and take thy rest.

Many voices sing to thee,
"Hush-a-bye," the water whispers,
"Hush!" replies the tall pine tree.

Thro' our tent the moon shines bright,
Like a great eye it will watch thee,
Sleep until the morning light.
To whoo, to whoo, to whoo, to whoo...
