Lullaby
Sleep my darling, the darkness is here,
Floating soft on crystalline dreams;
Scented with perfumes of night so dear,
With starlight sprinkling all of your dreams.
The hooty owl calls his amorous song,
Blessedly silent is the noise of day;
The stars of the night have shone,
Sleep my baby as long as you may.
Sleep my darling the night is tranquil,
Moonbeams surround you at rest;
The wind is softly calling to you,
With hymns that are ancient and blessed.
Daisies come hither in the field to dance,
As morn comes quickly with tomorrow's tears;
But tonight is star struck with romance.
Sleep my baby with no more fears,
Daylight will come in a couple of years.
