This is not what I was looking for. Can anyone else help me? I believe it was originally in Danish.

PUT MY LITTLE SHOES AWAY

COME AND BATHE MY FOREHEAD, MOTHER
FOR I'M GROWING VERY WEAK
LET ONE DROP OF WATER, MOTHER
FALL UPON MY BURNING CHEEK

CHORUS
YOU WILL DO THIS WON'T YOU MOTHER
PLEASE REMEMBER WHAT I SAY
GIVE THEM ALL MY TOYS, BUT MOTHER
PUT MY LITTLE SHOES AWAY

GO AND TELL MY LITTLE PLAYMATEX
THAT I NEVER MORE WILL PLAY
GIVE THEM ALL MY TOYS BUT MOTHER
PUT MY LITTLE SHOES AWAY

SANTA CLAUS, HE BROUGHT THEM TO ME
WITH A LOT OF OTHER THINGS
AND I THINK HE BROUGHT AN ANGEL
WITH A PAIR OF GOLDEN WINGS

SOON THE BABY WILL GROW LARGER
AND THEY'LL FIT HIS LITTLE FEET
WON'T HE BE SO NICE AND CUNNING
AS HE WALKS UPON THE STREET

this was in an old, old hymnal my grandmother had when I was a little girl. I think it is titled something like "put my little shoes away"?

Many years ago my mother taught me a song about a young girl who is dying. There are several verses, but I can only remember a few of the lines. The first 2 lines are "Mother mine, I am so tired and weary. Let me at thy bosom slumber seek" and I think the last 2 lines of the song are "I'm so tired my feeble eyes are closing. Mother, see the angels kissing me." My mother died a few years ago, so I can no longer ask her. Thank you.
