Night spreads its magic cloak of midnight blue
across the sky. Serenity slips down.
I sing this pantoum lullaby for you
as stars, like sequins, sparkle all around.
Across the sky, serenity slips down
beneath moon’s watchful gaze and steady glow.
As stars like sequins sparkle all around,
drift into Dreamland with the lyrics’ flow.
Beneath moon’s watchful gaze and steady glow,
I sing each line and then a second time!
Drift into Dreamland with the lyrics’ flow.
How restful is sweet rhythm and its rhyme.
I sing each line and then a second time
at end of day when sky holds poetry.
How restful is sweet rhythm and its rhyme.
In repetition lies security.
At end of day when sky holds poetry,
I sing this pantoum lullaby for you.
In repetition lies security.
Night spreads its magic cloak of midnight blue.
