Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Lucie's Lullaby

sleep well, o gentle giant
your soft voice still echoes 
through luscious midnight air
beneath a moon that seems enchanted
 
sleep well, o gentle giant
let your mind be at peace
and your heart serene 
you loved as much as you were loved

sleep well, o gentle giant
know you’ve always been
the flame in my heart and
will be with my every breath
until the day we meet again

sleep well, my love, my gentle giant
