Babykin's

Sleepy little baby lying on billows of sheets
Stories read lovingly to lay him to rest
Kindly Grandma whispered words repeat
Softly painting dreams on a hugging-pillow caressed

Fairies that frolic in mist laden places
Carry Johnny's dreaming far and wide
Cherry blossoms fall to lighten their paces
Imaginary wings find their heavenly glide

Muted harmonies grow dimmer and dimmer
Hooted owls call with sweetened sounds in the air
Booted elves twinkle while marching with glimmer
Cupid is arching his arrows love to ensnare

Night time has fallen so sweetly at rest
Bright happiness comes from contended stories told
Light and love to Babykins drifting in his nest
Flight has taken to sleepyland in dreamland's hold
