Unknown – All among the branches lyrics

All among the branches
Swing my darling swing
Head a-crowned with flowers
Like a little king.
Heaven's blue above you
Roses at your feet
And blossoms all around you
To shelter your retreat.
All the world is happy
All the world is gay
Alone your mother weeps my babe
Her heart is sad alway.
Hush baby hush
Swing high swing low
Where the apple blossoms blow
And the birds around you
Singing dear.
In your little nest
Softly sink to rest
While the fairies do keep you
Swi-i-ing-ing,
Swi-i-i-i-ing-ing dear .
