Joseph May Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Off To Sleep Again

On the ivories there are ebony themes
  But first the lass learns her musical abc's
 She's playing a rhapsody in her dreams
  As she falls asleep on the keys
 On an enchanted melody she rests
  As a song floats on a passing cloud
 She is on a musical quest
  To play those notes and do them proud
  When she awakens she'll make the keys chime
  By playing "Mary had a little lamb"
 It is her favorite nursery rhyme
  A lovely little ditty on the baby gran' 
 She plays that tune every now and then
 And then back to sleep she goes again
