Lullaby baby, now reclining, Sing Lullaby! Hush, do not wake the Infant King. Angels are watching, stars are shining Over the place where he is lying: Sing Lullaby! Sing Lullaby! Lullaby baby, now a-sleeping, Sing Lullaby! Hush, do not wake the Infant King. Soon will come sorrow with the morning, Soon will come bitter grief and weeping: Sing Lullaby! Sing Lullaby! Lullaby baby, now a-dozing, Sing Lullaby! Hush, do not wake the Infant King. Soon comes the cross, the nails, the piercing, Then in the grave at last reposing: Sing Lullaby! Sing Lullaby! Lullaby is the babe awaking? Sing Lullaby! Hush, do not stir the Infant King. Dreaming of Easter, gladsome, morning, Conquering death, its bondage breaking: Sing Lullaby!  less

STALLINGS Sleep, she will not linger: She turns her moon-cold shoulder. With no ring on her finger, You cannot hope to hold her. She turns her moon-cold shoulder And tosses off the cover. You cannot hope to hold her: She has another lover. She tosses off the cover And lays the darkness bare. She has another lover. Her heart is otherwhere. She lays the darkness bare. You slowly realize Her heart is otherwhere. There's distance in her eyes. You slowly realize That she will never linger, With distance in her eyes And no ring on her finger.  less

Performed by the Concert Choir ensemble of the Girl Choir of South Florida. Artistic Director: Wallis Peterson, Accompanist: Gayle Giese. Mother, please explain, what is love? Won't you tell me? Does one feel joy, or is it sad? How am I to know what of late befell me? For now my life no more is glad. Oh, tell me, is loving always kind? Suppose a gentle swain is sighing, Should I be denying? Not long since, to me came a shepherd fair Handsome as could be, and promptly he did swear That he loved me well. How could I tell? How could I tell? If he should come and say the same again, What shall I answer then? What shall I answer then? No one in the village compares with his beauty Whatever he may do or say Is so ful...    less
