lyrics

Darkness Comes Quickly
(Melody, "Es wird scho glei dumpa," a folksong from the
Brixen Valley in Tyrol, Austria. Words by Anton Reidinger,
circa 1900, translated into English by BATZZ in the belfry)

Darkness comes quickly, it's already night
Watch over my Savior, till dawn and the light
Alone in the darkness, a soft lullaby
Be still sleepless child, no reason to cry

Dream sweet my dear heart

Forget now, o child, your sorrow and grief
There in the stable, there in the heath
The angels your cradle could not have adorned
More beautifully in this prestigious home

Dream sweet my dear heart

Close your eyes, in rest and in peace
Before my departure, your blessing I seek
So peace can be mine, when I go to rest
And gladly lay down, in you I am blessed

Dream sweet my dear heart
