4 5 6 8 7 -6 7 -6 6
Soft be thy slum-bers, rude cares de part,
4 5 6 8 7 -8 7 -6 7
Vis-ions in num-bers cheer thy young heart
-6 -7 7 -7 6
Dream on while bright hours
-5 -5 -6 7 8 -8
and fo-nd hopes re-main,
4 5 6 8 -8 7
Bloom-ing like smil-ing bow'rs
7 -8 7 -7 7
For thee, El-len Bayne.
chorus
8 6 -6 7 8 -8 7
Gen-tle slum-bers o'er thee glide,
8 6 -6 7 -8 8 -8
Dreams of beau-ty round thee bide
4 5 6 7 8 -8 7
While I lin-ger by thy side,

Sweet El-len Bayne.
verse 2
Dream not in anguish dream not in fear;
Love shall not languish; Fond ones are near.
Sleeping or waking, in pleasure or pain.
Warm hearts will beat for thee, Sweet Ellen Bayne.
verse 3
Scenes that have banish'd smile on thee now,
Pleasures once banished play round thy brow
Forms long departed greet thee again
Soothing thy dreaming heart, Sweet Ellen Bayne
