Anyone remember hearing or singing this song as a child or parent? Did it help? I rocked a lonely child to sleep in a hospital one night to this song. (not my own child) his crying was keeping other kids awake, including my own. The poor bloody nurses where so busy, no-one had time for him. My daughter let me go and entertain him for a bit (next room) Why do we sing such drivel when the nurse could have drugged him to sleep? Did it help or heal anyone? what did it cost me? what did I gain? (other than the profuse thanks of five nurses and one doctor and four other parents, and a free coffee) By the way, I cannot sing it anymore; but perhaps someone else might need it one day. Isn't that why it was written? Maybe music/singing is like a healing circle, worthless. But it didn't seem to bother the nurses or the doctor; and it worked for the kid, that night at least. Yours, Aye. Dave

ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT (2)

Sleep, my babe, no ill betide thee, All through the night. Guardian Angels (MUDCATTERS) watch beside thee All through the night. O+er thy cradle stars are beaming, Silver bright the moon is gleaming; Thou shalt tread the land of dreaming. All through the night.

While the earth in calm reposes, All through the night. Thou shalt sleep as sleep the roses, All through the night. Hushed from sorrow and repining, Rest until the sun is shining, In my loving arms reclining, All through the night.
