The melody is very simple, Bb major, 4/4 time, about 100 bpm. All words are held for a quarter note except the last word of every second line is held for four. Each note is one syllable of the word. The lower octave is represented by a - and the higher a +
Go to sleep now, please don't cry here
-B E F E +B -G F G
even though we part.
B E F E C
Oh, Do not weep dear I will be near
ever in your heart.
Listen to the songs of starlight
sounding crystal Clear.
Lonely shadows, dreary hallows,
never shall you fear.
Go to sleep now, please don't cry here
even though we part.
Oh, Do not weep dear I will be near
ever in your heart.
(very old poem reposted to this site Dec 6, 2017)
