The Virgin's Cradle Hymn
(Nativity)
- E. Rubbra -
Dormi, Jesu! Mater Ridet
Quaetam dulcem somnum videt,
Dormi, Jesu! blandule!
Si non dormis,mater plorat
Inter fila cantans orat,
Blande, veni, somnule.

Curiosità
Storica...
Pr. S. T. Coleridge paragrafò così il
testo latino:
Sleep, sweet babe! my cares be guiling:
Mother sits beside thee smiling;
Sleep, my darling, tenderly!
If thou sleep not, mother mourneth,
Singing as her wheel she turneth:
Come, soft slumber, balmily!
