Hush! the waves are rolling in,
White with foam, white with foam;
Father toils amid the din
While baby sleeps at home.
Hush! the wind roars hoarse and deep
On they come, On they come;
Brother seeks the wand'ring sheep
While baby sleeps at home.
Hush! the rain sweeps o'er the knowes
Where they roam, where they roam;
Sister goes to seek the cows,
But baby sleeps at home.
