Go, sleep, go away, sleep, go away,
Do not come to my eyes, not today.
Do not come to my eyes, not today.
Go, sleep, go away, sleep, go away,
Do not come to my eyes, not today.
Do not come to my eyes, not today.

The world’s eyes dream their sleep,
But my eyes, they will not weep.
They will not sleep, my eyes, today.
What faces, what forms appear,
What faces, what forms appear,
Departed, loved, and gone astray,
Do not come to my eyes, not today.
Do not come to my eyes, not today.
Go, sleep, go away, sleep, go away,
Do not come to my eyes, not today.
Do not come to my eyes, not today.

Let not the moon and stars descend,
Shine bright, beloved, until the end.
Let not the moon and stars descend,
Shine bright, beloved, until the end.
Go, moonlight, to the dawn, and say,
Go, moonlight, to the dawn, and say,
Arrive gently, find your way.
Arrive gently, find your way.
Do not come to my eyes, not today.
Do not come to my eyes, not today.
Go, sleep, go away, sleep, go away,
Do not come to my eyes, not today.
Do not come to my eyes, not today.
