A Lullaby
A Lullaby
--------------------------
Do you hear the dogs barking?
Army! It's perhaps army in the village!
Silent! Silent! Switch off the lamp.
Wind up the games and switch of the phones.
Look through the curtains
Light is falling on the windowpanes --it's searchlight!
Do you hear the sound of boots
And a whispering in the street?
I fear, if they knock at our window or door!
I am whispering to my wife at bedtime
And the irritating little fellow is sound asleep.
