In Golden Slumber

Rest now in golden slumber As shadows fall away Your dreams to unencumber The worries of the day Sleep now as velvet fire Adorns the evening sky As Swifts and Nightjars choir A peaceful rock-a bye Rest now in golden slumber Still cradled by the sun As moon beams by the number Are counted one by one Off to nod, you go, I hear the Sandman creeping Off to nod, you go, he knows you should be sleeping
