Notes About The Poem

The text in the picture is Arabic. Transliterated: Tusbih 'ala chayr, which means Good Night :)

May Dreams Be So Mild

Sleep, sleep my darling, sleep my fair child
Sleep my fair child, dream your dreams
Dream your dreams of thundering waves so wild
Waves so wild, all the while sunlight beams
Sunlight beams, plays, and lights up your hair
Lights up your hair, your ringlets of gold
Your ringlets of gold, so sunnily fair
Sunnily fair is your smile to behold
Smile to behold lingers soft in your sleep
Sleep, sleep my darling, may dreams be so mild
May dreams be so mild, sleep, sleep deep

***

Wishing you goodnight from hospital, see you on Friday :)
