A Lullaby - For Yul
Let us wean our bodies from the day
Sleep, my darling child, sleep, I say
Dream and let dreams carry cares away
Sleep, my darling child, sleep, I say
See how the sun too turns to its rest
Sleep, my darling child, sleep, I say
And moonlight rise to balm your breast
Sleep, my darling child, sleep, I say
Hear it in the songs of oceans far away
Sleep, my darling child, sleep, I say
My love is your pillow, sleep I pray
Sleep, my darling child, sleep, I say
And when your sleep is done, and dream
No more around your cradle play
I’ll be your faith where the portals gleam
Sleep, my darling child, sleep, I say
