And be sure you don't cry.
Bye-bye, little Dolly,
Lie still, and bye-bye.
There, now it is morning
And time to get up,
And I'll give you some milk
In my doll's china cup.
So wake up, little baby
And open your eye,
For I think it high time
To have done with bye-bye.
Jane Taylor
Sleep, Dolly Sleep
Sleep, Dolly, sleep.
You must not, must not weep.
Now close your eyes so brown,
And let me lay you down.
Sleep, Dolly, sleep.
Wake, Dolly, wake,
Too long a nap you take;
It's time to make the tea,
And you must help, you see.
Wake, Dolly, wake.
Run, Dolly, run,
Run out in golden sun;
Run up the hill with me,
And then to the apple-tree.
Run, Dolly, run.
Mrs Hibbert
My Dolly
Shut your eyes, my darling!
When the shadows creep,
When the flowers are closing
Little ones must sleep.
Don't be frightened, Dolly!
In my arms you lie;
Nestle down and slumber
To my lullaby
Dolly is so active,
Always full of fun,
Wakeful still and smiling
E'en when day is done
Hush thee now, my dearest,
To my slumber-song;
Children lose their roses,
Sitting up too long.
My Dolly
I must go home to dolly,
And put her to bed;
I know she's so tired,
She can't raise her head.
Some dolls are so old,
They can sit up till eight,
But mine gets quite ill
If she stays up so late!
Dolly's Asleep
Tell me a story
Just one, mother dear.
Candles are coming
Bedtime is near
There is my hand to hold
Bend down your head,
Don't speak too loud, mother,
Dolly's in bed
No! not the story
Of old Jack and Jill
They were so stupid
To tumble down the hill.
I'm tired of Jack Horner
And Little Bo-peep.--
Stay! let me see
If Dolly's asleep.
Hush, Dolly darling!
I'm watching, you know
No one shall hurt you;
I will not go.
You are so warm,--
Like a bird in it's nest.
Go to sleep, darling,--
Rest, Dolly, rest.
Ah! there is Mary
Just come in with a light:
Now there is no time
For a story to-night,
Please make the boys, mother,
Mind how they tread.
Their boots are so heavy,
And--Dolly's in bed.
Good night, dear mother!
Ask papa, please,
When he comes home,
Not to cough or to sneeze
Give me your hand, Ma
