The Sleeping Princess - Sissel

Hush!

Hush!

With lovely eyes

Closed in sleep, the princess lies

By a fairy charm enchanted

Doomed to dream in forests haunted:

Hush!

Hush!

Pale and wan, as dead she were

Sleeps the princess ever there

Hush!

Hush!

Sudden on the silence breaking

Laughing, shouting, merrymaking

Thro' the gloom the woodnymphs sweep

Yet they do not break her sleep

Fast asleep the princess lies

Wrapped in mystery her eyes

By a fairy charm enchanted

Doomed to dream in forests haunted!

Hush!

Hush!

Baleful charm and slumber fell:

Will she wake?

Ah, none can tell!

Hush!

Hush!
