Thread Name: Lyr Req: Baby sleeping in thy cradle (P Robeson)
Subject: Lyr Req: Baby sleeping in thy cradle
"Schlafe, holder süßer Knabe" is a German poem by Matthias Claudius that has been set to a tune by Schubert.

Robeson sings an English translation starting with the words in the thread title.

I'm looking for these lyrics or for another singable English translation of the song/poem.
