Trying to help someone find the complete words to this Irish/Irish American? poem/lullaby/prayer...

The greatgrandmother had learned it as a girl in the USA in the late 1800's.

The only lyrics the family remembers are as follows:

Mama hears her darling's prayer,
Tucks him safely into bed
Handies folded, peepers shut
Nightgown white as white can be.

Any leads would be appreciated.

A big thanks.

Mary

Mary, I just packed a book which might have it in it. When I unpack, sometime next week, I will take a look. If you don't see me posting here, please feel free to send me a PM reminder; it's going to get kind of busy!

Thanks and good luck,

kat
