I was a student at Ardmore College in New Zealand training to be a primary school teacher specialising in Music. We were given a book of songs as the basis of class singing and music learning. The words were as below.

Suliram, Suliran, ram, ram,
Suliram, rest now my child.
As the earth awaits the cooling shower,
So sleep is waiting for you my little flower.

Shadows are tempting, they want you to play, Suliram Suliram
Whispering "Come with us, come far away Suliram, Suliram"
But shadows fly off beyond the farthest sea
And when you waken you'll still be here with me.

First versa again.
