Can you please fill in the missing words of this old lullaby, and find a sound recording of someone singing it? it starts like this (the rest of what we know is after the jump): Sleep little babe in your nest, Silver clouds fade in the west, Flowers their soft petals close, Butterflies dream of the rose
Here's what we know (or maybe we're wrong, this is our memory of how my grandma sang it). We'd like to find a sound recording of this to sing to my new nephew, what would have been her great grandson if she were around to sing the song herself. Thank you!
Sleep little babe in your nest
Silver clouds fade in the west
Flowers their soft petals close
Butterflies dream of the rose
Over your (head or bed) while you sleep
Angels their vigil will keep
Sleep little bird in your nest
Rest my darling rest,
My Daaaaaaaaaaaarling rest.
Hush not a sound can be heard
Silent are cricket and bird
Butterflies sleep on the hill
Winds fold their wings and are still
Over your (head or bed) while you sleep
Angels their vigil will keep
Sleep little bird in your nest
Rest my darling rest,
My Daaaaaaaaaaaarling rest.

Response by poster: yes! that's the tune! amazing, thank you! now i just need to figure out what version she used and how to get a recording (especially one that didn't make my ears bleed. those kids were crazy.)
this is really helpful, thanks! i'm getting closer!

The lyrics don't quite match, but it's beautiful (and soporific...)
