Text

Dormi, Jesu. Mater ridet

Quae tam dulcem somnum videt.

Dormi, Jesu, blandule.

Si non dormis, mater plorat.

Inter fila cantans orat,

Blande, veni, somnule.

Translation

Sleep, Jesus. Thy mother smiles

when she sees such gentle slumber.

Sleep, Jesus, gently.

If you do not sleep, your mother cries.

And, singing, prays as she weaves:

"Come, gentle sleep."
