Cobwebs go to sleep....!

I am wanting to do a cross stich, the verse I have heard about wee ones growing up and something about cobwebs, and dust go to sleep, As you can tell I don't remember the full verse and I'm wondering if anyone can tell me.? I would dearly love to do it for a dear friend of mine.
Many Thanks Spey

cleaning and scrubbing
can wait until tomorrow
for babies grow up
we've learned to our sorrow
so quiet down cobwebs
dust go to sleep
I'm rocking my baby
and babies don't keep

is this it??

Speystitch, here is a design for the poem to give you ideas, perhaps:

on eBay there is also an old Sunset Design pattern, but the seller won't ship outside North America. http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-Sunset-Stitcher ... dZViewItem
