Mike Gentile Poet Lyric

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
