  I
  
  Sing to us, cedars; the twilight is creeping
  With shadowy garments, the wilderness through;
  All day we have carolled, and now would be sleeping,
  So echo the anthems we warbled to you;
  While we swing, swing,
  And your branches sing,
  And we drowse to your dreamy whispering.
  
  II
  
  Sing to us, cedars; the night-wind is sighing,
  Is wooing, is pleading, to hear you reply;
  And here in your arms we are restfully lying,
  And longing to dream to your soft lullaby;
  While we swing, swing,
  And your branches sing,
  And we drowse to your dreamy whispering.
  
  III
  
  Sing to us, cedars; your voice is so lowly,
  Your breathing so fragrant, your branches so strong;
  Our little nest-cradles are swaying so slowly,
  While zephyrs are breathing their slumberous song.
  And we swing, swing,
  While your branches sing,
  And we drowse to your dreamy whispering.
