Brahms Lullaby (Lullaby and Good Night)
Lullaby and good night, with roses bedight With lilies o'er spread is baby's wee bed Lay thee down now and rest, may thy slumber be blessed. Lay thee down now and rest, may thy slumber be blessed. Lullaby and good night, thy mother's delight Bright angels beside my darling abide They will guard thee at rest, thou shalt wake on my breast. They will guard thee at rest, thou shalt wake on my breast.
 Sleepyhead, close your eyes, mother's right here beside you.- I'll protect you from harm, you will wake in my arms.
- Guardian angels are near, so sleep on, with no fear.
- Guardian angels are near, so sleep on, with no fear.
- Lullaby, and sleep tight, hush! My darling is sleeping,
- On his sheets white as cream, with his head full of dreams.
- When the sky's bright with dawn, he will wake in the morning.
- When noontide warms the world, he will frolic in the sun.
- Guten Abend, gute Nacht, mit Rosen bedacht,
- Mit Näglein besteckt, schlupf unter die Deck!'
- Morgen früh, wenn Gott will, wirst du wieder geweckt
- Morgen früh, wenn Gott will, wirst du wieder geweckt
- Guten Abend, gute Nacht, von Englein bewacht
- Die zeigen im Traum, dir Christkindleins Baum
- Schlaf nun selig und süß, schau im Traum's Paradies
- Schlaf nun selig und süß, schau im Traum's Paradies
A close English translation of which is:
- Good evening, and good night, with roses adorned,
- With carnations covered, slip under the covers.
- Early tomorrow, if God wills, you will wake once again.
- Early tomorrow, if God wills, you will wake once again.
- Good evening, and good night. By angels watched,
- Who show you in your dream the Christ-child's tree.
- Sleep now peacefully and sweetly, see the paradise in your dream.
- Sleep now peacefully and sweetly, see the paradise in your dream.

 Buffalo Woman, A Story of Magic
Snow Bird, the Caddo medicine man, had a handsome son. When
the boy was old enough to be given a man's name, Snow Bird called
him Braveness because of his courage as a hunter. Many of the
girls in the Caddo village wanted to win Braveness as a husband,
but he paid little attention to any of them.
One morning he started out for a day of hunting, and while he was
walking along looking for wild game, he saw someone ahead of him
sitting under a small elm tree. As he approached, he was
surprised to find that the person was a young woman, and he
started to turn aside.
"Come here," she called to him in a pleasant voice. Braveness
went up to her and saw that she was very young and very
beautiful.
"I knew you were coming here," she said, "and so I came to meet
you."
"You are not of my people," he replied. "How did you know that I
was coming this way?"
"I am Buffalo Woman," she said. "I have seen you many times
before, from afar. I want you to take me home with you and let me
stay with you."
"I can take you home with me," Braveness answered her, "but you
must ask my parents if you can stay with us."
They started for his home at once, and when they arrived there
Buffalo Woman asked Braveness's parents if she could stay with
them and become the young man's wife. "If Braveness wants you for
his wife, we will be  pleased," said Snow Bird, the medicine man.
"It is time that he had someone to love."
And so Braveness and Buffalo Woman were married in the custom of
the Caddo people and lived happily together for several moons.
One day she asked him, "Will you do whatever I may ask of you,
Braveness?"
"Yes," he replied, "if what you ask is not unreasonable."
"I want you to go with me to visit my people."
